India faced a defeat against England in the third T20I at Rajkot, with the series now standing at 2-1 in India’s favour. All eyes are now on the upcoming Pune T20I, where India will look to get back on track and will surely be eager to seal the series with a win.
If we summarize the last three T20Is, several factors have worked in India’s favour. The top order performed decently well, and the middle order delivered when needed. However, in the recently held match at Rajkot, India struggled. On the Rajkot turf, they failed to chase a decent total of 172, which was expected to be achievable, but it didn’t happen.
Now, with the fourth T20I at Pune expected to be a big one, India will look to seal the series. On the other hand, this will be a golden opportunity for England to capitalise on their momentum. So, how will the weather be at Pune, and will it affect the play? Take a look at the MCA weather report ahead of the India vs England 4th T20I.
MCA weather report
According to one of the prominent weather forecasting websites, Accuweather.com, temperatures will be around the mid-30s in Celsius on Friday afternoon but are expected to drop below 30 in the evening. For cricket fans, the good news is that no rain is forecasted.
However, there are certain conditions to consider. Due to the weather, the cooling effect could bring some moisture to the pitch, providing a good opportunity for spinners. If this happens, the ball could grip the surface better. It may be a good idea for the captain to choose to bowl first. Also, depending on the humidity levels, dew could become a factor as the game progresses, creating a batter-friendly situation. As bowlers may struggle to grip the ball due to the dew, it might be better to bat later on this surface.
