Pitch & Weather Report
Pitch Report:
According to recent analyses, Providence Stadium’s surface is traditionally slow and low, giving significant assistance to spinners. Batters often need to be patient rather than aggressive, especially in the middle overs. Strokeplay can be challenging due to the bounce being a bit uneven and pace being moderated. Chasing has been noted to be more difficult on this wicket; captains winning the toss may prefer to bat first.
Weather Forecast:
- Daytime high around 32-33 °C (≈ 90-91 °F); nighttime low ~ 23-24 °C (≈ 73-75 °F).
- Tonight: mostly clear or partly cloudy with low probability of rain during match hours; earlier in the day thunderstorms possible but likely to clear by start time. Humidity is high.
- Wind: somewhat light, easterly direction, expected to be manageable.
Weather Summary: Expect warm, humid conditions with possible daytime storms that recede by evening. With the match under lights, dew could become a factor—especially for bowling. Overall, conditions look favourable for a near-complete match with minimal rain risk during the prime hours.
