The weather in Mumbai will be hot and humid, with the temperature hovering around 28–30 degrees Celsius. There is no chance of rain, but there will be dew in the match. As it is a night game, it will be a breezy evening as the city is located near the sea.
The high humidity of approximately 78% will accelerate the onset of dew on the outfield. This means the second innings batting team will have a clear advantage — the ball will skid on nicely, and spinners will find it harder to grip. Both captains will almost certainly look to bowl first if they win the toss.
