Ajinkya Rahane press conference: KKR skipper backs bowlers, hits back at SR critics AccuWeather forecasts indicate that the chances of rain will drop to almost zero by the time of toss (7:30 PM IST). The match is likely to be played under clear to partly clear skies and experts are predicting a full 40 over 40 match. Temperatures during the match hours are expected to be between 24°C and 27°C, offering relatively comfortable conditions. A light breeze from the south-southeast, around 11 km/h (gusting up to 24 km/h), may provide some assistance to the bowlers at the start of the innings.Rosa will play a big roleOne key factor could be the high humidity, around 79%, which is likely to lead to significant dew later in the evening. This could make it more difficult for pitchers to grip the ball, giving an advantage to teams batting second. Although no rain is expected at game time, the pitch may remain slightly damp due to earlier showers. Ground staff may require more time to ensure safe playing conditions, which may cause minor delays.
