IPL 2018: Match 16, KXIP vs SRH - Weather Forecast

Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) will host Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 16th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) in Mohali. It is much like the battle between the table toppers given that the winner of this game will either surge to the top of the table or will climb to the second spot easily. The visitors are yet to be beaten after 3 matches and KXIP have all the capabilities to stop their juggernaut. However, it is important for the weather to hold up during the course of the match.

Punjab is currently enjoying a happy space after winning two games and they would certainly know that Sunrisers’ bowling attack is being tipped as one of the best in the tournament so far. While the scores of 200 are being scored and chased down, they haven’t conceded more than 150 in their three matches. But even SRH will have to be at their best as the batsmen of the hosts are in great form as well.

Bleak chances of rain

According to Accu Weather, it is partly sunny and warm in Mohali and the temperatures are hovering around 37 Degree Celsius. But the cloud cover will increase around 3 PM and it will stay cloudy until 6 PM as there are bleak chances of rain. There might be a shower or two in the lead up to the game and the temperatures will cool down due to that. The temperature will decrease around 25 Degree Celsius and the atmosphere will be pleasant during the entire duration of the game.

It won’t rain in the evening and even the afternoon showers won’t have any effect on the game as the spectators will enjoy the full action.

Overall Verdict: Though there are chances of rain before the start of the game, the clouds will stay away during the match and let the crowd enjoy the run-fest.
