When the match starts, the temperature will be around 32 degrees but due to high humidity in the air, it will feel like 38 degrees. Humidity in the air can range from 65 to 75%. There is a possibility of dew falling on the field and pitch in the second half of the match. Winds will continue to blow from the west at a speed of 10 to 12 Kmph and there will be a few clouds in the sky. There is no possibility of any interruption in the match due to weather.

The pitch of Wankhede Stadium is a flat pitch, hence it proves to be good for the batsmen. The boundaries of this ground are also small due to which a good score can be made. Good scores were seen in the initial phase of this tournament but during the last two matches, no team has been able to cross the mark of 180. Mumbai Indians are already out of the tournament but they would like to have a respectable farewell by winning this match. On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants would like to win with a big margin so that they can retain their place in this match.
