by · Inside Sport India

Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is set to host the 5th T20I between IND vs ENG. How is the weather going to be ahead of this final match? Take a look at the weather forecast details.

It’s time for the final nail in the coffin, as after winning the 4th T20I against England, Team India clinched yet another T20I series at home, marking their 17th consecutive series win. The first win came in Kolkata, followed by Chennai. Although there was a hiccup when they lost the Rajkot clash, India bounced back by clinching the Pune T20I, which was initially under England’s control. However, thanks to hard-hitting from Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube, followed by composed bowling from Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, and others, India snatched the game away from the three Lions.

Now, it’s time to face England again, as India is set to play the final T20I at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, a ground usually favourable for batters. We can expect many runs once again, but since weather also plays a role in cricket, let’s take a look at the Mumbai weather report ahead of the IND vs ENG 5th T20I.

Mumbai weather report

For cricket fans in Mumbai, there is good news as the conditions are in favour of a full T20I game with no chances of rain anywhere. The temperature will be around 23°C, which means it will be comfortable for cricket fans in the evening. Speaking about the wind, a north-northwest wind is blowing at 11 km/h, with occasional gusts reaching 35 km/h. As always, teams bowling second can expect good swing in the first few overs, and we will likely see pacers dominating the ground, rather than spinners. On the other hand, batters can expect a lot from this surface. In fact, Wankhede is always considered a batter-friendly surface, where the average runs per over go up to 9.4, and the average first innings score in T20Is is around 190, showing the incredible support for batters at this ground. Considering all the weather and surface conditions, we can expect a smoother T20I game between India and England.
