India vs Australia 1st T20I: Weather Forecast for IND vs AUS: Weather near Mohali on September 20

India is all set to host Australia for a three-match T20I series starting September 20, with the first game being scheduled at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) Stadium in Mohali. The last time the two teams met was when India toured Australia between November 2020 and January 2021. The visitors had managed to win the first two games to clinch the T20I series by 2-1.

With the T20 World Cup approaching, the series would prove to be very much beneficial for both teams. With every team looking to have a good strength of the XI players in their combination, the bilateral series would help the teams figure that out. Australia, the visitors, are without the services of some of their key players, and thus India has the opportunity to try out some options.

As for Australia, Mitchell Marsh, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Starc and David Warner will not be participating in the series. With the marquee event just weeks away, Australia decided not to take any risk by playing the players amid fitness concerns. As for India, Umesh Yadav has replaced Mohammad Shami, who will be missing the series after testing positive for COVID-19.

The last time India and Australia met at Mohali was six years ago, and the shortest format of the game has witnessed an evolution ever since. Also, the Indian team will be playing at home for the first time since June 2022, and because PCA has not hosted any international games in recent times, the pitch will be fresh for both sides.

Here’s a look at how the weather will behave during the IND vs AUS clash:

In a piece of great news, there are no signs of rains at Mohali on Tuesday, and the game is expected to be played without any hindrances. As per weather.com, the temperature will range between 27-29 degrees Celsius whereas the humidity in Mohali is expected to be around 75-80% throughout the match duration.

The quick outfield on this field will be a draw for the batters. It will be exceedingly challenging for the bowlers to prevent the ball from crossing the boundary once it is in the gap. The wider stadium boundaries, however, will act as a shield for the players. In the middle-overs, the spinners can benefit.
