The Champions Trophy tournament kicks off today, and all eyes are on the first match between Pakistan and New Zealand, led by Mitchell Santner. The game is scheduled to start at 2:30 pm Indian time, but cricket fans are eager to know – will the weather play spoilsport? Specifically, will rainfall be a villain in this highly anticipated match? Let’s take a closer look at Karachi’s weather forecast for the day.
According to the Meteorological Department, the skies will be mildly cloudy during the Pakistan vs New Zealand match, but only for a short period. The good news for cricket enthusiasts is that the weather is expected to be favorable for the game. With 54% humidity and only a 10% chance of rain, the conditions seem ideal for a thrilling match. The wind speed will be around 21 km/h, and the overall weather in Karachi is expected to be pleasant. So, it’s unlikely that rain will disrupt the game.
It’s worth noting that New Zealand recently defeated Pakistan in the Tri Series final, which could give them a psychological edge in this match. The Kiwis, led by Mitchell Santner, won by 5 wickets, and this victory might boost their confidence as they face Pakistan again. However, Pakistan will be looking to bounce back from that defeat and make a strong start in the Champions Trophy. With the weather forecast looking promising, fans can expect an exciting contest between these two teams.
