No showers are expected to intervene in the most important match of the tournament. It is expected to be bright and sunny day in Ahmedabad. According to the recent weather forcasts. The temperature in Ahmedabad in the afternoon will hover around 32 degrees Celsius and will fall to 28 degrees by the time the sun sets.
Pitch and Playing Conditions
The pitch in Ahmedabad is on the drier side in the tournament so far. The match will be played on a black soil pitch, which is expected to be on the slower side with not much bounce. It means that it won’t be easy to hit through the line but if a batter applies himself and plays with a straighter bat, then there are lots of runs that can be scored by him on the pitch.
The spinners from both teams will play an important role in the match and dew can play a role in the second innings of the match which the teams will have to consider while going in for the toss.
