Mumbai Indians’ official social media account even shared visuals from the venue showing rain around the stadium premises, further fuelling speculation among fans about a possible interruption during Sunday’s game.
Despite the showers on Saturday, the latest weather update appears encouraging for cricket fans.
According to AccuWeather forecasts, Raipur currently has only a 1% chance of precipitation (rain) on May 10, suggesting that conditions are likely to remain favourable for a full match.
Clear skies are expected through most parts of the day, significantly improving the possibility of an uninterrupted contest between the two heavyweights. That said, weather forecasts remain predictions rather than guarantees, and conditions can still change unexpectedly closer to match time.
