Without any doubt, the Pune test match between India and Australia was a wakeup call for the Indian cricket team. The Australian team has come out stronger than ever to face the World number one and trounced them fiercely.
But it is not like Men in Blue were out of form; few excellent bowling spells by the bowlers in the first innings did manage to restrict the mighty Aussies. After having an unbeaten record of 19 test matches such a fall was not expected by the Indian Cricket Team.
While spectators, cricket gurus and media gawk their eyes on March 4 for the second encounter in Bangalore, it is like that the weather gods will also be watching the game a little too closely. During the course of the test match, the maximum temperature of Bangalore is expected to be around 29-31°C whereas minimum temperatures is around 18-19°C.
Having said that, the chances of rainfall over Bangalore is very much likely during the course of the test match. On and off rains is expected on all 5 days over Bangalore and nearby areas. With patchy clouds expected over the region, showers cannot be ruled out.
The latest weather modal suggests that on March 4 and 5, the rainfall is expected to be less and scattered. But from the March 6 to 8, the rainfall may become widespread and with more intensity.
The day is likely to be warm and cloudy even with the rain activity, though the evenings will be pleasant.
Such weather conditions are ideal for the pace bowlers to do some magic with the ball. With windy days and warmth in the air, Australia looks to have an edge over the Indian line up.
