The second Women’s Asia Cup 2024 encounter between India and Pakistan at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium promises to proceed under clear skies, providing ideal conditions for a thrilling match. Unlike the uncertainty often brought by rain, no precipitation is anticipated, allowing uninterrupted play. The temperature is forecasted to peak at a warm 33 degrees Celsius, ensuring a hot day that could test the endurance of the players.
With humidity levels hovering around 66%, the atmosphere will be quite muggy, potentially affecting stamina and grip, especially as the game progresses. Moreover, the wind is expected to blow at a steady speed of approximately 29 kmph. This breeze can be a crucial factor, particularly for the fast bowlers who might exploit the conditions to generate some swing and movement off the pitch.
