Bengaluru Weather: Will Rains Affect India Vs Australia T20 Match?

Every time there is an interesting cricket match, there will always be an 'x' factor - the rains. Since it is an outdoor stadium, weather has always been a key factor.

Even as the stage is set for the final T20 match between India and Australia, the fans are expecting the rains to play some role as the depression formed over the Southwest Bay of Bengal will travel northwest and will likely transform into a cyclonic storm by December 3.

The weather agency has issued an orange alert in coastal Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal, between December 2 and 4.

So, what has the weather-monitoring agency said about the weather?

As per the India Meteorological Department, the weather on Sunday will be generally cloudy. However, there are chance of rain.

"Generally cloudy sky. Light rain very likely. Mist very likely during early morning hours in some areas. Maximum & Minimum temperatures very likely to be around 28 and 19 Degree Celsius respectively," the IMD said in its daily press release on Saturday.

Although it has predicted rains, it looks like the Garden City will not witness heavy showers. Hence, even if the rain factor come into picture, there are less chances of the match being called off.
