Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Stadium Pitch ReportÂ
The surface at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium is typically well-balanced, offering something for both batsmen and bowlers. But the early signs suggest that this IPL 2026 game may be played on a slightly placid pitch, helping out the spinners like Varun Chakaravarthy and Sunil Narine. The weather in Raipur is extremely hot – it is forecast to hover around 40 degrees Celsius during the day. An important aspect of this game will be the heavy dew expected in the second half of the evening. This will make it extraordinarily difficult for the bowlers to get a grip of the ball when bowling in the second innings, providing a huge benefit to the team batting second.
