Weather Metrics Summary

The forecast indicates mainly clear conditions with sunny spells during the day, followed by a clear evening during match hours. Rain is unlikely to cause significant interruptions, while cool temperatures, steady breezes and increasing humidity could influence playing conditions.
Weather Condition
Clear & Sunny
Sunny spells are expected during the day, with clear skies continuing into the evening.
Temperature
14°C–15°C
The daytime high is expected to reach 18°C before temperatures cool during the match.
Rain Impact Risk
0%–15%
The chance of an isolated shower is very low, so rain-related interruptions appear unlikely.
Wind Speed
19–24 mph
Westerly or south-westerly breezes of approximately 30–38 km/h may create a cooling effect and offer some assistance to swing bowlers early in the innings.
Humidity
59%–76%
Humidity is expected to begin around 59% and rise to approximately 74%–76% during the second half of the match.
Dew Factor
Significant
Increasing evening humidity may contribute to dew, potentially making the ball harder to grip for the team bowling second.
Match Impact: The clear forecast should support a full match. Early breezes may assist swing bowling, while the expected dew factor could make bowling more difficult later. Winning the toss and choosing to chase may offer an advantage under these conditions.
