We are backing Maharashtra with some confidence. At 74% to win, they are strong favourites, and Delhi will need their best game to cause an upset.

Maharashtra are in better shape, with one wins from their last three games against no from four for Delhi. In the table, Maharashtra sit 3rd with one wins from three, while Delhi are 4th.

Totals have been easier to defend than to chase here, which makes batting first the smart call.

DEL vs MAH Pitch Report

Air Force Complex Ground, Delhi

All eyes will be on the pitch at Air Force Complex Ground once the covers come off.

The first-innings average over the last 3 Test games at this ground is 190, and 202 in the second innings.

The last 3 first-innings scores here, newest first: 266 (SER), 184 (BEN, won), 120 (SER, lost).

Spin has done the damage here: slow bowlers have taken 77% of the wickets (65 of 84). Seamers have gone at 3.29 an over and spinners at 2.60, so expect the slower bowlers to be used to control the scoring.

3 recent first-class games here produced 2 results and 1 draw, with the side batting first winning 1 of them. The best successful fourth-innings chase in that time was 333, so anything much above that should be enough to bowl at on the last day.

Whoever wins the toss should bat, and let the pitch wear for their spinners later in the game.
