But for cricket fans and followers there is a bad news as weather is expected to play a spoilsport. It is believed that rain can interrupt the game and because of this it is expected that India and Australia will not be able to play full 40 overs in the second T20I match of the series.
Rain is predicted on September 23 (Friday) and the precipitation chances are 70 per cent. Humidity is expected to be around 83 per cent and the wind speed can be recorded at 16 km/h.
Despite all these factors, cricket enthusiasts arrived in numbers at the stadium to redeem their tickets.
