NEW DELHI: As India and South Africa prepare for their second T20I at St George's Park in Gqeberha, the weather could play a crucial role.
Scheduled for Sunday, November 10, 2024, at 7:30 PM (IST), the forecast suggests conditions that may disrupt play with both afternoon and evening showers expected.
According to AccuWeather, the day temperature in Gqeberha is expected to peak at 21°C.
The skies are likely to be mostly cloudy, with up to 91% cloud cover anticipated, which may create ideal conditions for swing bowling, potentially benefiting the seamers from both teams.
Rain probability for the afternoon stands at 84%, with forecasted precipitation of about 4.2 mm and a likelihood of a couple of showers during the later part of the day.
This high probability of rain could lead to delays, especially if showers continue.
Winds are expected from the southeast at around 13 km/h, with gusts reaching up to 33 km/h.
These winds might aid the bowlers in generating movement. In the evening, temperatures will drop to 14°C. And the rain probability decreases slightly to 63%, with an expected 1.6 mm of precipitation, primarily during early evening hours.
Overcast conditions with about 96% cloud cover could keep humidity levels high and result in a slower outfield, affecting fielding and boundary scoring.
If rain showers clear quickly, we may still see an uninterrupted match; however, conditions remain uncertain, and fans and players alike will be hoping for minimal disruptions.
India aim to tighten their grip on the series and secure a 2-0 lead after a commanding 61-run win over South Africa, powered by Sanju Samson 's record-breaking century and stellar bowling performances.
