India and Afghanistan will face each other in the ninth game of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. India got off to the best possible start in their ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign by defeating Australia last week at a packed MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai by 6 wickets and with 52 balls remaining. India's bowling unit did an outstanding job to limit the ruthless Australian batters inside the 200-run mark. Ravindra Jadeja was the star of the bowling department as he took 3 wickets by giving just 28 runs in his 10 overs spell. The Virat Kohli and KL Rahul's 165-run fourth-wicket partnership is what helped India win even after losing 3 quick wickets. India vs Afghanistan ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Preview: Likely Playing XIs, Key Players, H2H and Other Things You Need To Know About IND vs AFG CWC Match in Delhi

Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report

The Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch is more inclined towards batters throughout the game, but as the game progresses the pitch moves onto the slower side, providing some support to slower bowlers and spinners. The wickets, however, appear to have found life after the recently laid pitches, which were prepared using black soil, allowing batters to score runs more freely.

South Africa defeated Sri Lanka in the most recent game played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, scoring an impressive total of 428 runs. This emphasises how well-suited the pitch is for batters. Sri Lanka's reaction saw them score 326 runs, although they ultimately fell short by 102 runs.
