MI vs PBKS: Will It Rain In Mumbai (Maharashtra) Today?
Cricket fans can relax because the weather for April 16, 2026, looks very good. The regional weather reports say that there is a 0% chance of rain during the match window. Mumbai is currently going through a normal heat wave for mid-April, with daytime highs reaching 35°C.
Temperatures are expected to drop to a muggy 27°C to 28°C by the time the first ball is bowled at 7:30 PM IST. The players won’t have to worry about rain, but the high humidity (about 70%) will be a big problem. This humidity is a sign that heavy dew is coming, which usually settles on the Wankhede outfield by the second innings. This could make it hard for the bowlers to hold on to the ball.
Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Pitch Report: Advantage Chasers?
People all over the world know the Wankhede Stadium as a “Batting Paradise.” The famous red-soil pitch has real bounce and speed, which gives batters the confidence to hit their shots. So far in the 2026 season, the stadium has lived up to its name, with games that score a lot of points being the norm.
The short boundaries and the outfield that moves so quickly make it even easier for the batters. Because of the heavy dew that is expected tonight, the toss will be very important. In the past, teams that won the toss at this venue liked to bowl first. Chasing becomes much easier when the dew takes away the threat of spin and helps the ball slide onto the bat. This makes almost any target reachable under the floodlights.
