According to AccuWeather, the temperature at Trent Bridge in Nottingham could be around 14 degrees Celsius on Sunday afternoon. The wind is expected to blow in the South/South-East direction with variable speeds between 19 to 41 Km/hr. However, a 99 per cent cloud cover and 90 per cent chances of precipitation at the venue suggests that the game could witness multiple rain interruptions. 

More importantly, Google weather predicts that the chance of rain at Trent Bridge is as high as 45-50 per cent on Sunday afternoon. The weather is expected to improve after 7pm local time; so, it will be interesting to see what time the match officials set as the cut-off for a five-over contest. 

According to the latest update on CREX, the drizzle at Trent Bridge has gotten heavier, forcing the groundsmen to bring the covers back. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), on its official handle on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) posted that we could be in for a long delay, considering the intensity of rain at the venue. 

South Africa had a fabulous time in the ODI series, swatting aside the hosts by 2-1 in their backyard. After losing the first T20I convincingly, England shattered multiple records in the second game, eventually emerging victorious by a massive 146-run margin.
