IND vs BAN, ICC World Cup 2019: Bright sunshine spells in Birmingham could produce ideal playing conditions

The weather forecast for Birmingham on Tuesday, according to Accuweather, looks promising. There is a negligible chance of rain which means that a full game is on the cards.

India will lock horns against sub continent rivals Bangladesh in Match 40 of the ICC World Cup at Edgbaston Cricket Ground at Birmingham. While Kohli and Co. with virtually one foot in the semifinal, need a win to formalize their booking in the last four of the tournament, Bangladesh needs nothing but a win against 'Men in Blue' to keep their semis hopes alive. Fans from both the cricket crazy nations would be expecting a competitive game between the two Asian teams without any rain interruption. The weather has generally been conducive for cricket at Edgbaston in the last couple of World Cup encounters played out at the venue. India's last game against England was a full 50-overs encounter with bright spells of sunshine in partly overcast conditions all through the day. Playing Conditions  The match will be played on the same strip which was used in India's last encounter against England. The conditions are expected to be pretty similar which would mean that the toss will be crucial to decide the outcome of the game. The skipper winning the toss should elect to bat first and put a big score on the board. Weather Update The weather forecast for Birmingham on Tuesday, according to Accuweather, looks promising. There is a negligible chance of rain which means that a full game is on the cards. It's predicted to be a balmy day at Birmingham with periods of bright sunshine. There will be some clouds but overtly overcast conditions will not surface. Hence, a run-fest is certainly on the cards and the outcome will be a bit skewed in favour of the team which wins the toss and chooses to bat first.
