The first T20I between India and Bangladesh in New Delhi was played under adverse weather conditions in New Delhi. Now it looks like the second T20I too might be affected by weather, thanks to the weather in Rajkot.
The Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm (ESCS), Maha, had seemingly moved away from the west coast of India last Tuesday, but it has since turned around and is heading towards the Gujarat coast.
"And now, with a game in Rajkot ahead, news of a cyclone on the West coast on Nov 6/7 with a danger alert issued to fishermen on the Saurashtra coast. Hope it isn't dangerous for the people living there. The weather has been most unpredictable this year," said commentator Harsha Bhogle in a tweet.
However, the cyclone is expected to weaken on its way to the Gujarat coast, according to Skymet Weather.
"The system is likely to make a landfall between Diu and Porbandar around November 7 and at that time the wind speed will be around 80-90 kmph," said the report.
