IPL 2018: Match 47, MI vs RR - Weather Forecast

Mumbai Indians (MI) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) lock horns on Sunday in one of the most important matches of the season for them. Both the teams are in a must-win situation and a loss will jeopardise their chances of playoff qualification this year. The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is all set to host the blockbuster as some of the T20 superstars are stacked against each other. However, the weather in Mumbai will also play a crucial role as it has been raining in some parts of the country over the last few weeks.

Rohit Sharma would be pleased to come back on his home ground and will be confident of notching up yet another victory and take one step forward towards the knockout stages. The team knows these pressure situations very well as they have been in this mess a number of times. Ajinkya Rahane and his men have somehow still managed to hang in with exploits from Jos Buttler and Krishnappa Gowtham in the last game. They have been responded well under pressure but they will need a complete team effort to trump the strong Mumbai side.

Will it rain?

According to Accu Weather, it is currently sunny and the temperatures are hovering around 32 Degree Celsius. But the humidity in the city is making it feel like 40 Degrees which is usually the case in Mumbai. Even the players might have got used to it even as there are no chances of rain which means the conditions won’t change much in the lead up to the game. Even during the action in the middle, the clouds will be clear and the humidity will only increase up to 80%.

The dew will play its part once again and it will not be easy to defend with the dew only increasing as the day will progress.

Overall Verdict: The pressure will be on both the sides in this must-win game and thankfully they will not have to worry about the rain factor. They can concentrate on their own plans and try their best to win this match.
