IPL 2024 weather update: Chandigarh weather report for March 23 for PBKS vs DC matchÂ
The second match of IPL 2024 will see Punjab Kings (PBKS) square off against Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Chandigarh on Saturday.
Skipper Rishabh Pant's return to competitive cricket has been the highlight for DC on the road to IPL 2024. Pant missed last year's competition after suffering a tragic car accident. Pant will look to make a memorable comeback as the Capitals aim for their maiden IPL title.
Punjab, meanwhile, endured another disappointing campaign last year, finishing eighth in the standings. They will look to improve their performance this year and begin their campaign on a winning note. The onus will be on overseas cricketers and skipper Shikhar Dhawan to do the bulk of the job for the team.
With both teams vying for a victory, fans can expect a cracker of a contest. Much to their relief, there is no rain in the forecast and a full game is on the cards.
According to Accuweather, the temperature will hover between 31 and 34 degrees Celsius during Saturday's IPL 2024 game. It is expected to be cloudy, with relatively less humidity. The air quality has been deemed 'poor' by the aforementioned report.
