Kings XI Punjab vs Kolkata Knight Riders
Punjab Cricket Association Ground, Mohali, Chandigarh
Match starts at 4pm
Partly cloudy to clear sky is expected at Punjab Cricket Association Ground in Mohali, Chandigarh when local team Kings XI Punjab will play Kolkata Knight Riders in the 20th Match of IPL 2013. Mohali falls in northern part of the country and is away from the sea-coast so there will not be any concern about the humidity that Kolkata Knight Riders are used to.
Match will start under slightly hot conditions at 4 pm, the time when maximum temperature will be recorded at around 36 degrees but it will fall at least to 29 degrees when the last over of the match will be bowled. The stadium receives winds from north and northwest during most of the time in the year but as there is a Western Disturbance present in the Western Himalayan region that restricts the flow of these winds, southeasterly winds from the Bay of Bengal will reach here to add just a pinch of moisture content in the air.
Thundery development is possible in Chandigarh, but whether this will have an impact during the course of the Match will depend on intensification of local weather conditions.
