India vs South Africa: Rain Could Play Spoilsport in Pune During Second Test

After India recorded a convincing victory over South Africa by 203 races in the first Test, the action now moves to the MCA Stadium in Pune from October 10.

However, with heavy non-seasonal rains predicted for Pune and the surrounding region, the test match faces the very real possibility that it will rain for prolonged periods during the five scheduled days.

The first day, although it is expected to be sunny until around 10 a.m., there are thunderstorms expected around 2 p.m., according to Accu Weather.



The weather prediction is largely the same during the first four days of the Test match, and only the fifth day is expected to see an entire day of sunshine.

The news will be a blow to the cricket fans in Pune, who were anxiously waiting for the second test to be played there. The only test match so far that the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium has hosted was in February 2017, between India and Australia. Australia recorded an incredible victory of 333 races in that match.

While the place has been used before during the IPL seasons of the past, it hasn’t seen much international cricket. The last ODI he hosted was between India and the West Indies in October 2018.

We hope the weather doesn’t play spoilsport as predicted during the second test!
