Pakistan will take on Bangladesh in the second Test which will be part of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25, set to begin tomorrow in Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
Bangladesh, buoyed by their historic 10-wicket win in the series opener, will look to secure their first-ever Test series victory against Pakistan. The hosts, however, are under pressure to bounce back and level the series.
The weather in Rawalpindi could play a significant role. According to forecasts, the opening day is expected to be cloudy and humid, with a high chance of thunderstorms. Temperatures are predicted to hover around 27°C, but the humidity will make it feel closer to 30°C.
The RealFeel shade temperature is forecasted at 28°C, with extensive cloud cover at 96%. Winds will be blowing from the northeast at 11 km/h, with gusts potentially reaching 32 km/h.
Rainfall is expected to be around 25.4 mm, with an 80% chance of precipitation throughout the day, potentially disrupting play.
Visibility might be limited to 4 km due to the dense cloud cover, which could make conditions challenging for the players.
With both teams keen to make their mark, the weather could add more uncertainty to an already high-stakes encounter.
Its a shame to still watch cricket. Its better to support other sports where real talent is waiting for recognition. Cricket is doomed and corrupt game.
