The highly anticipated final of the T20 World Cup 2024 between India and South Africa could be affected by rain. The match is scheduled to take place at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, on Saturday, with the first ball set to be bowled at 10:30 AM local time (8:00 PM IST). However, weather forecasts paint a gloomy picture, predicting a high chance of rain throughout the day. Thunderstorms are especially likely around 10:00 AM, the time of the scheduled toss, according to Weather Underground. The forecast predicts a 70% chance of rain on Saturday, making a long stretch of sunshine unlikely. Cloud cover is expected to dominate the Bridgetown sky throughout the day.
Looking ahead to Friday, the day before the final, forecasts suggest sunshine during the first half of the day, giving way to showers in the evening that are expected to persist through the night. Cricket enthusiasts and fans alike will be hoping for a weather miracle to ensure the final unfolds without interruption.
