Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Giants WPL 2026 DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai Pitch report

 

The surface at DY Patil Stadium is expected to provide a fair contest, with consistent pace and a batter-friendly bounce for tonight's match. The ball typically comes onto the bat well, allowing stroke players to time their shots more easily. Fast bowlers may focus on varying their lengths in the early overs, rather than relying on movement, while spinners might get occasional grip as the game progresses, though they won't dominate. The shorter boundaries encourage risk-free hitting, so the team batting first will likely aim for a target in the range of 165–175 to set a competitive total.
