Playing Conditions & Pitch Impact

Dry Evening Window: Although Kirtipur experienced light drizzle on Friday, skies are expected to clear into partly cloudy conditions by Saturday evening. This points towards a full 20-over-a-side contest, with minimal risk of rain interruptions.
Heavy Evening Dew: Temperatures are expected to fall quickly after sunset as humidity rises above 85%. Significant dew could develop during the second innings, making the ball difficult for spinners to grip and potentially favouring the team batting second.
Early Seam Movement: Overcast afternoon skies and residual moisture from Friday’s light rain could help new-ball bowlers find early swing and seam movement during the opening powerplay.
