India vs Pakistan Weather Report
The temperature is likely to hover between 37 to 41 degree Celsius with a humidity range of 60%. The last time the teams met in the group stage, we saw the players struggling with their fitness and running between the wickets was becoming a challenge. Hence the team management will have to make sure the players take an adequate amount of liquid in order to avoid dehydration and cramps, a phenomenon quite common while playing cricket in UAE.
The temperature will fall down in the evening by at least four degrees with win speed at 8kmph. The team batting second is likely to get some reprieve, and hence it will be interesting to see what the team management decides on batting first or second.
