Women's T20 World Cup 2024 weather update: Dubai weather report for October 9 for India vs Sri Lanka match
India will face Sri Lanka in a must-win clash of the ICC Women's 2024 T20 World Cup at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday, October 9. The Women in Blue started their campaign with a heavy 58-run defeat against New Zealand. They beat arch-rivals Pakistan by six wickets in their previous match, but remain fourth in the Group A points table.
To progress to the semifinals, India need to win both their remaining matches by big margins and hope it is good enough for them to secure a top-two finish in Group A. Harmanpreet Kaur and company find themselves in a very tricky situation since Australia, Pakistan, and New Zealand are also very much in the hunt for a place in the 2024 Women's T20 World Cup semifinals.
India did a great job with the ball against Pakistan, restricting their opposition to 105-8. However, the Women in Blue could not significantly boost their net run rate since they needed 18.5 overs to go past Pakistan's total. India will be looking for a much more comprehensive victory over the Lankans.
The India vs Sri Lanka match in the Women's T20 World Cup starts in Dubai at 7:30 PM IST and 6:00 PM local time. As per AccuWeather, it will be clear and warm in the evening, with the temperature in the range of 32 degrees Celsius.
