The temperature on the day will fluctuate between 22 to 10 celsius. The probability of rain before the start of the match (in the morning) is just 1% as per the latest weather update while the wind will blow at 6km/h from the east. There will be a cloud cover of 34% on a partly sunny and pleasant day.

The cloud cover will increase to 74% by the time the match starts at 2 PM local time but the possibility of rain only increases to 4% despite the thick cloud cover. The wind will blow from the northeast direction at 9km/h while the humidity will be 51%.

The temperature will drop to 11 C by the second innings of the match while the cloud cover will grow thicker at 93%, creating an ideal situation for pacers. The possibility of rain increases to 25% by that period while the humidity soars to 79%.

The washout in the last game has hurt Sri Lanka's chances of qualifying for this year's 50-over World Cup directly as the Dasun Shanaka-led side has dropped to ninth place in the ODI Super League after losing the first ODI by a big margin. The top eight in the standings directly qualify for the showpiece event with New Zealand and other top nations have already sealed their spots.
