Pakistan vs Windies, 1st T20I - Weather Forecast

Pakistan and Windies are all set to create by playing the full series of three T20 Internationals in the former country in Karachi at the National Stadium. The ground will host its first international game in last nine years after successfully organising the final of the recently concluded Pakistan Super League (PSL). The atmosphere at the Stadium was absolutely electric and the game was played with a huge security. However, it would be interesting to see if the weather holds up properly for the first of the three-match series.

Windies have picked a weakened squad for the series unfortunately after Jason Holder and the skipper Carlos Brathwaite pulled out their names from the tour. Jason Mohammed has been named the captain of the side which still possesses the firepower to beat the number 1 T20 side in the world. Pakistan, on the other hand, would be feeling ecstatic with the fact they would be playing in front of the home crowd once again and only a win will satisfy the fans who have been deprived of some quality cricket over the years.

What is the weather forecast for the game?

According to Accu Weather, currently, it is bright sunshine in Karachi with the temperatures hovering around 34 Degree Celsius. Interestingly, it will get cooler as the day progresses and the climate for cricket should be fantastic by the evening. The game is set to begin at 8 PM local time and the temperature will go down to 29 Degree Celsius with no chances of rain at all. The humidity will be around 50% which should not be a problem as well for the players who will take the field on Sunday.

The jam-packed crowd should get to witness an exciting day of cricket and full 40 overs will be bowled without any doubt. By the time the match finishes, it will cloudy but it will only help the cricketers as they will feel cooler and there will no rain at any stage during the match.

Overall Verdict: The passionate crowd of Karachi deserves more games and it is only fair that the weather for the match is absolutely clear. The Stadium is expected to be sold out and full 40 overs of the game will be played undoubtedly in the first T20I.
