Also, the temperature is expected to be on the cooler side. It will hover between 14 degree celsius and 30 degree celsius.
What will happen if rain spoils the match?
Fortunately, a reserve day is in place for the WTC Final if the rain cuts off some overs. Thus, even if rain spoils the party on Day 2 and Day 3, the reserve day might rescue the encounter. If a result is not determined even on the reserve day, the trophy will be shared between Australia and South Africa.
