How will the weather play at the Wankhede Stadium? Just this week, Mumbai has seen sandstorms and rainfall. Although the weather gods were kind yesterday (May 16), it won’t exactly be shocking to see rain play spoilsport. This week, we have seen two matches get washed out without a ball being bowled; will we see the same in the MI vs LSG match?
