ICC World Cup 2019: Match 29, West Indies vs New Zealand — Weather forecast | Hourly temperature and chances of rain

New Zealand will be looking to extend their unbeaten streak when they take on the Windies in the 29th match of the World Cup in Manchester. With 4 wins from 5 games, they are second in the points table with 9 points. The Black Caps can move to the top of the points table with a win in this encounter. The Caribbean outfit, on the other hand, is reeling at the seventh spot in the points table with just 1 win from 5 outings.

New Zealand are brimming with confidence at the moment. In their last outing, they beat South Africa in a thrilling encounter. The captain Kane Williamson played one of the best innings of the World Cups to steer his side to a four-wicket win. Needing 8 runs from the last over to chase down 242 in 49 overs, Williamson swept the second ball for six to complete his ton. And he sliced the next away for four to take his side home with three balls remaining.

Windies, on the other hand, lost to Bangladesh in their last game. The two-time winners did extremely well to score 321 for 8 in the 50 overs. Evin Lewis, Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer scored the fifties to take their side to a big total. However, the bowlers failed to defend the total as Shakib Al Hasan and Liton Das took their side home in the 42nd over.

New Zealand will be the favourites for the game but they should against complacency. Windies had piled up 421 against them in the warm-up game and are really capable of winning again.

How’s the weather expected to be?

Just like the last game that happened in Manchester, the weather forecast for the upcoming game is not very promising. According to the AccuWeather, there is no chance of rain although it will be partly cloudy. The cloud cover will be around 70 per cent. The humidity will be in the 40s at the start of the game and will increase with the passage of time. The temperature is expected to hover between 19-21 Degrees Celsius.
