India vs South Africa, World Cup 2019: Weather report and Pitch conditions
India will finally start the World Cup campaign tomorrow at Southampton against struggling South Africa. Here is how weather and pitch conditions will play tomorrow
Indian cricket team will finally hit the floors of ICC World Cup 2019 at Southhampton tomorrow as they lock horns with South Africa. Having spent enough days in England before the first match, the Virat Kohli-led side will be eyeing a win against underperforming Proteas. They have already lost two consecutive matches in the tournament thus far, one against hosts and the other with Bangladesh.
Although Faf du Plessis' men might not be playing best of the cricket right now, they can bounce back at any moment. So, Men in Blue need to be prepared for a strong comeback from Proteas. Here are details about the pitch conditions and weather report about tomorrow's game.
Weather report
The weather mostly remains on the wet side in England. After haunting a few warm-up games, rain interrupted the Afghanistan-Sri Lanka encounter as well. Pertinently, there is a probability of perception tomorrow at Southampton. There will be around 70 to 90 percent cloud cover while the temperature will range from 15-18 Celsius at Rose Bowl.
Pitch conditions
Southampton will be hosting the first match of the tournament tomorrow, so there can't be many predictions made about the pitch conditions. However, formerly, the pitch conditions at Rose Bowl have been mostly favourable for the team batting first. So, the team that finds the luck with the coin will most probably opt to bat first. As pitches in England have recently been good for batsmen, we can expect one more flat strip tomorrow as well.
