Mumbai Weather and Rain Forecast
While the skies will remain clear, the conditions will be physically demanding for both squads. Temperatures at the evening start time are expected to be approximately 30°C. However, with humidity levels forecasted to reach 72 percent, the 'felt' temperature will be considerably higher, posing a significant challenge to the bowlers’ endurance and grip during the middle overs.
Moderate westerly breezes of 11 mph are anticipated throughout the evening. These coastal winds may offer marginal relief to the players but are unlikely to interfere significantly with the ball's trajectory.

Conditions at Wankhede Stadium
Given the Wankhede Stadium's coastal location near Marine Drive, the dew factor is expected to be a primary tactical consideration for captains Hardik Pandya and Faf du Plessis. Current trends suggest heavy dew will settle on the outfield during the second innings. This traditionally makes the ball slippery and difficult for spinners to control, often providing a notable advantage to the team batting second.
