C lean — after toss After toss: likely the opener who faces the new ball if they chase; a new-ball seamer if they bowl.
VC lean — after toss The other innings. Do not stack C and VC on the same six overs.
Tuesday 15 September is the middle T20I of Afghanistan’s three-night set in Delhi, all at Arun Jaitley Stadium, 7:00 pm IST. BCCI and the Afghanistan Cricket Board locked 13, 15 and 17 September at this ground.
A used Kotla T20 strip on night two usually means less grass, a ball that grips earlier, and the same September dew after the break. Write the venue again: new-ball seam is shorter; the middle can become a spinner’s over if the outfield stays dry.
Do not copy Sunday’s eleven onto Tuesday because the names were on television. Bowl-first on a wearing pitch is not the same card as chase-with-dew. Keep one credit until both XIs are out.
Captain (2×) last. If they chase, the opener who sees the new ball is still the common 2×; vice-captain (1.5×) a bowler through middle-to-death — or the reverse. A used pitch can flip that.
