ODI World Cup 2023: Match 33 – India vs Sri Lanka – Weather Report

In the 33rd game of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023, India and Sri Lanka will play each other at the Wankhede Stadium, in Mumbai. Notably, for the first time since the 2011 World Cup final, both teams will play an ODI game at this venue. This is why it has been counted as a repeat of the 2011 final although it is a league game.

Talking about both teams, the Men In Blue have won six games and are ensured of semis qualification. On the other hand, after losing four games out of six, the 1996 winners are barely alive. Meanwhile, talking about the weather, it will be during the day and night. However, in the afternoon, the temperature will hover around 34 to 37 degrees celsius.

Players from both teams would like to avoid fielding during the afternoon as they will experience cramps. It will be easy for the players in the nighttime. Keeping the pitch aside, both teams would like to bat first. England committed the mistake of bowling first against South Africa and paid dearly. On the other hand, Bangladesh had to bowl first against the Proteas in another game.

Talking about the probable playing XI, the home team might go unchanged. On the other hand, Dunith Wellalage might replace Dhanajaya de Silva.
