Kings XI Punjab vs Rajasthan Royals
Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali, Chandigarh
Match starts@4pm
Hot weather will prevail in Mohali near Chandigarh during the IPL cricket T20 match between Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals. Temperature will be around 38 degrees at the start of the match at 4pm. It will be down by 4 degrees by the time the match ends but even then it’ll be very warm for a comfortable match presentation ceremony.
Some clouds are expected at the start but they will fade away during the match. The relative humidity level will be in twenties so at least that will be a comfort for both the teams. Mohali pitch is considered to be one of the fastest pitches in the country allowing a lot of bounce but heat during the last few days may have dried it up thus the batsmen will have an advantage.
Bowlers cannot bank on the pitch reputation in the month of May and will have to bowl straight as there will not be much room for error as batsmen can play their shots both straight and horizontal. Slow or spin bowlers could gather more from the wicket than the fast bowlers.
