The wind velocity will be between 19 km/h to 21 km/h and 70 percent humidity is expected in the atmosphere throughout the day.
The fact that the Indian team has been able to train outdoors also suggests that the weather has been clear over the past few days.
However, Australia is facing their third consecutive La Niña weather event and that is expected to affect the entire tournament. A 3,500-km-band of thunderstorms is expected to pass through the centre of the country, and if that happens, there will be uncertainty around all the matches.
It is noteworthy that there are no reserve days for India vs Pakistan contest, and if the match is washed out due to rain, both teams will share one point each.
The ICC had earlier confirmed that the tickets for the match have been sold out.
Pakistan humbled India in the T20 World Cup encounter last year, winning the match by 10 wickets.
India will be raring to go against their arch-rivals. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma said that Pakistan’s strong bowling and India’s experienced batting make the environment lively.
