Ranchi weather: Any chances of rain during the IND vs WI 2nd T20I?
During the day, there is the chance of a shower in the late morning followed by “a thunderstorm in spots this afternoon,” according to AccuWeather.
The platform predicts “a thunderstorm in spots this evening; otherwise, mainly clear,” for during the match hours. Its hourly forecast shows about a 55% chance of precipitation between 7-9pm with a chance of storms. Temperatures will hover in the early 20s.
The captain who wins the toss is likely to chase given how well teams batting second often perform in T20s. The possible rain makes chasing an even more attractive proposition.
This will be the first T20I at Ranchi since 2023. In that match, New Zealand defended 176 against India. Also, there has only been one 200+ score in 10 night T20s at the JSCA International Stadium Complex, so it will be fascinating to see how the pitch behaves.
West Indies are aiming for just their second win in their past 12 T20Is against India in India. They had their moments with the bat in Lucknow, but the loss of quick wickets at crucial stages meant they managed an under-par 171.
Shreyas Iyer then took matters into his own hands, smashing 102 off 43 balls to lead India to victory with eight wickets and 32 balls to spare.
