On Friday, December 19, India will host South Africa at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad for the fifth and final T20I of the five-match match. The trophy is on line as the hosts lead the series 2-1. Interestingly, the visitors have the chance to spoil India's party and level the series 2-2.

The Suryakumar Yadav-led side had the chance to clinch the trophy in Lucknow but the match got abandoned due to excessive fog. The fans were disappointed by the authorities for picking Lucknow as a venue amid the air pollution crisis. 

Now as the caravan moves to Ahmedabad, there is a curiosity among the fans about the weather update at Narendra Modi Stadium and AQI levels in the western part of the country.

According to accuweather, it will be the perfect weather at the Narendra Modi Stadium for the 5th and final T20I. The temperature will range around 16°C and there are no chances of rain and cloud cover.

The humidity levels will be high, but not to a level of massive concern. There will be no delay and the match will run smootly without any weather-related interruption. 

Now, since the weather gods are siding with cricket fans for the final T20I, it is equally important to shift focus towards the rising AQI levels and will that pose a threat in the game as Hardik Pandya was spotted wearing a mask during the build-up to 4th T20I.

AQI levels in Ahmedabad and will it hamper the match?

The air is unhealthy in Ahmedabad, but it won't pose a threat and the match will go on as planned. Comparing the air pollution levels with Lucknow, then during the 4th T20I, the pollution reading touched 490, which falls under hazardous category.
