DCW vs RCBW Weather & Pitch Report
The surface at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy is batting-friendly with consistent bounce, ideal for stroke play. Fast bowlers may find early assistance, but the pitch tends to flatten out as the game progresses. Spinners become important in the middle overs to control the run rate. A first-innings score between 165-180 is considered competitive, with chasing under lights often advantageous due to dew and better batting conditions.
Conditions in Navi Mumbai on Saturday evening are expected to be pleasant and stable. Temperatures will be around 26–27°C with mostly clear skies, very low cloud cover, and no chance of rain. Light winds will prevail, ensuring ideal conditions for an uninterrupted match.
