The highly anticipated final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup between India and South Africa is set to take place on Saturday, June 29, 2024, at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. As cricket enthusiasts eagerly await this grand finale, let's explore the weather conditions that could influence the match.
According to the weather forecast for the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, the day is expected to be predominantly cloudy and humid, with intermittent showers and thunderstorms anticipated in the early hours. The morning conditions are predicted to be breezy, with a 78% probability of precipitation, which is particularly concerning given the match's scheduled start time of 10:30 am AST. An isolated thunderstorm is forecasted to occur after 11 am, potentially leading to a washout.
Unlike the group-stage matches, Super Eights, or the second semi-final, the final has a reserve day allocated. This is a provision in case the weather disrupts the game on the scheduled day. The reserve day is set for Sunday, June 30, with the match to be played at the same venue and time (8 pm IST/10:30 am AST).
As cricket fans gear up for this thrilling showdown, all eyes will be on the skies over Bridgetown, hoping for favorable weather conditions to witness an uninterrupted and exciting finale.
