As cricket enthusiasts eagerly await this crucial match between India and Australia, the big question is whether the weather will support the high-intensity game.
India and Australia are set to face off in the final of the ICC Men's ODI World Cup on Sunday, November 19. Both teams have secured their places in the final with impressive winning streaks, as India remains the sole unbeaten team in the tournament with 10 consecutive victories, while Australia has notched up eight consecutive wins.
Indian batsmen have displayed exceptional form, with four of the top five scoring centuries in the tournament. The bowlers, led by Mohammed Shami as the top wicket-taker, have been relentless and in top-notch form. Australia, on the other hand, has witnessed various players stepping up at crucial moments, including notable performances from Adam Zampa, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, and Glenn Maxwell.
The highly anticipated showdown between India and Australia, set against the backdrop of the world's largest stadium with 1.3 lakh cheering fans, promises to be a spectacle. However, as cricket enthusiasts eagerly await this crucial match, the big question is whether the weather will support the high-intensity game or if an interruption is likely.
Unlike the previous final at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium, where rain played a significant role in the Indian Premier League (IPL) summit clash in May, the weather forecast for this final indicates clear skies throughout the day.
According to Accuweather Sunday, November 19, looks absolutely clear in Ahmedabad, with a zero per cent chance of rain. This forecast ensures that all 100 overs should take place without any interruption in the World Cup final.
The temperatures are expected to hover around a high of 33 degrees and a low of 20 degrees. The sun will shine in its full glory, but the temperature will gradually decrease as the day progresses into the evening.
