Ideal weather conditions can be expected for the much-awaited first ODI between Afghanistan and South Africa at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. According to a report by AccuWeather.com, the forecast suggests that the weather will be clear and warm, providing a great backdrop for the game.
The temperature is expected to hover around 31°C during the match. However, due to high humidity levels, it may feel higher than 35°C, creating a muggy and somewhat uncomfortable atmosphere for both players and fans. The humidity level is predicted to hover around 60%, which is normal for Sharjah at this time of the year.
A light south-easterly breeze is predicted to blow at a speed of 7 km/h, with wind speeds sometimes reaching up to 28 km/h. One important thing to take away from the forecast is that the chance of rain is 0%, ensuring that there is no risk of the match being interrupted due to rain.
