Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kings XI Punjab
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad
Match stats at 8PM
Kings XI Punjab will find it difficult even though it’s an evening start to 25th match of IPL 2013 as temperatures in Hyderabad do not drop as fast as they do in Mohali, in north India. Day temperatures, in both Hyderabad and Chandigarh near Mohali, remain above mid-thirties but they fall in different proportions as the darkness increases after the sunset.
For instance, day temperature in Hyderabad is expected to be around 37-38 degrees while it will be around 36-37 degrees in Chandigarh. But contrary to Chandigarh, it will fall approximately to 31 degrees by 8pm in Hyderabad where as in Chandigarh it will fall to 27 degrees making the atmosphere more comfortable than Hyderabad.
The sky in Hyderabad will be approximately covered up by 55 percent at the start but will become mainly clear when match will be over. Clouds would be witnessed in Hyderabad as the region is experiencing a low pressure area that extends from east Uttar Pradesh to Tamil Nadu across Andhra Pradesh. But rain is not expected in Hyderabad and match will be uninterrupted.
Winds in Hyderabad will not be as cool as Chandigarh as they are coming in from the Arabian Sea from the West to southwest direction. Moisture levels during the match will be in twenties.
