More than the action on the pitch, however, all eyes are on the weather, with the nation’s capital experiencing seasonal rainfall in recent days.The ongoing IPL season has already witnessed many weather fluctuations across the country. The KKR vs PBKS clash in Kolkata was abandoned while the RR vs MI clash had to be restricted to just 11 overs per side.

The sun is expected to make a brief appearance between 16:00 and 18:00, helping drying conditions, although a 15-19% chance of light showers still remains during this period. Crucially, there is no rain in the forecast from 19:00 when the toss is scheduled. Skies are expected to clear as the evening progresses, with only strong winds prevailing at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.Conditions are likely to be warm and humidDelhi is set to experience a warm evening with temperatures ranging from 28°C to 35°C.
