Pitch and Playing Conditions
The pitch at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium has been a good strip to bat on and the match between Gujarat Giants and Urbanrisers Hyderabad could be a high-scoring encounter. However, spinners could play a role on this track as the wicket can slow down as the match progresses.
However, given the fact that the match is being played in the north of India and the winter season has arrived the temperature in Dehradun will hover around 17 degrees Celsius and the skies will be cloudy but no showers are expected during the match.
