Ahmedabad weather forecast on Friday, March 31

The temperature on Friday will fluctuate between 34 to 23 celsius with next to no possibility of rain before the match gets underway in the evening. By the start of the match, the temperature will be pleasant at 26 celsius with a humidity of 36%. There is no possibility of rain during the match too (0% as per the latest weather forecast) while the sky will have no cloud cover.

This will also allow the fans to enjoy the return of the nation's cricket icon to the field after a year's hiatus as MS Dhoni is expected to lead his side during the encounter despite being spotted limping during a training session.

Dhoni, who hasn't played any competitive match at the domestic level since his IPL 2022's last game for Chennai Super Kings, will be hoping to get into match fitness during the game as he has been seen struggling in the initial games since playing limited cricket since international retirement in 2020.
