Indian cricket team, having already secured a spot in the semi-finals, is set to engage in a high-stakes World Cup 2023 battle against an in-form South Africa at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens on Sunday, November 5.
This upcoming clash between India and South Africa holds the promise of a fierce competition for group supremacy. India, maintaining an impeccable record, stands on the verge of claiming the top position with a win that would secure them 16 points.
However, they must guard against complacency and strive to emulate the remarkable achievement of the undefeated Australian team in 2007, which clinched the World Cup title. A victory would firmly establish India as the frontrunners, with just one more match against the Netherlands.
On the other hand, South Africa possesses a potent batting lineup, featuring hard-hitting game-changers, posing a significant challenge to India’s fast bowlers. This face-off carries great importance in determining the group leaders who will progress to the semi-finals.
Kolkata, known for its transitional weather in November, has moved past the monsoon season, with winter approaching. Nevertheless, November can be somewhat unpredictable, with occasional showers possible.
The current weather forecast anticipates a partly cloudy day with intermittent sunshine. Daytime temperatures are projected to hover around 28 degrees Celsius, tapering off to a cooler 22 degrees Celsius in the evening.
The present weather outlook indicates a low likelihood of rain, with only a four percent chance of precipitation. Humidity levels are relatively moderate at 51 percent. Furthermore, the sky is expected to be mostly overcast, with a cloud cover of 99 percent.
