Islamabad, Aug 29: The second Test of the ICC World Test Championship 2023–25, which is scheduled to start tomorrow at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, will pit Pakistan against Bangladesh.
Bangladesh will try to win their first-ever Test series against Pakistan, riding high after their historic 10-wicket triumph in the series opener. But the onus is on the hosts to turn things around and tie the series.
The weather in Rawalpindi may be important as both teams get ready for this important game. Forecasts indicate that the first day will be overcast, humid, and likely to see thunderstorms.
Although the temperature is expected to stay around 27°C, the humidity will make it seem more like 30°C.
RealFeel shade temperature is expected to be 28°C with 96% cloud cover. There will be 11 km/h winds coming from the northeast, with gusts possibly reaching 32 km/h.
Play may be hampered by the forecast 25.4 mm of rain and the 80% likelihood of precipitation during the day.Because of the heavy cloud cover, visibility may only be 4 km, which might make things difficult for the players.
The weather might make an already high stakes match even more precarious, with both teams eager to leave their mark.
