For the 51st exciting Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 fixture, Mumbai Indians (MI) will host Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai later today, and ahead of the big clash, the weather in Mumbai seems ideal for a full-fledged cricket game.
Mumbai Indians were off to a bumpy start to the IPL 2024 season under the leadership of Hardik Pandya. And their bad start turned into a nightmare as their losing streak dropped the team down to 9th place in the points table.
On the other hand, Gautam Gambhir's mentorship had struck the right chord for Kolkata Knight Riders as they grabbed second place on the points table with 12 points in 9 games.
That being said, the upcoming clash between MI and KKR is scheduled at Mumbai's iconic Wankhede Stadium, which has always been a batter-friendly wicket. But will weather prevail in an uninterrupted game of cricket? Let's find out.
Wankhede Stadium Weather Report
Accuweather.com
Mumbai, the financial capital of India, is traditionally extremely hot and humid at this time of the year. The summers are at its peak and as per Accuweather, the night time temperature is expected to hover around 28° celsius with over 50% humidity, which will induce dew in the later half of the game.
33 km/h wind gusts might bring some relief from the scorching heat. However, the high humidity could influence playing conditions, particularly for bowlers who may experience some moisture on the pitch.
As far as rain interruptions are concerned, the odds of precipitation are zero and hence, both teams can focus on delivering their best performances on the field without worrying about rain delays or interruptions.
The pitch of Wankhede Stadium will offer greater assistance to batters and given the short dimensions of the ground, a high scoring game is expected to prevail between MI and KKR.
