Weather and pitch report

Historically speaking, the Feroz Shah Kotla pitch has been very kind to batsmen. However, in 2009, it copped a lot of criticism after an ODI between India and Sri Lanka. As it turned out, the pitch was declared dangerous. It got to a point where the Kotla nearly faced a ban for 1-2 years.

Since then, the pitch has worked its way past that drama and now serves as a home ground for the Delhi Capitals and the venue for the DC vs MI match on Thursday.
