It will be a cool nice day for cricket but rain could play spoilsport as there are good chances of outbreaks of rain in the afternoon according to AccuWeather.

Wind gusts will be at 50 km/h with 85% probability of precipitation with a cloud cover of 91% and minimum of 3 hours of rain.

The weather gods have not been considerate of late, and a lot of matches in the recent past were either shortened or called-off. Both the teams will be hoping for at least a game tomorrow.
