Match Venue and Timing
The fourth T20 between Australia and India will be played at Carrara Oval in Queensland. The game starts at 6:15 PM local time, which corresponds to 1:45 PM in India.
Lightning Strikes and Weather Conditions
The weather in Queensland was extreme last week. Almost five lakh lightning strikes were recorded by the Meteorological Department in a day with strong winds. But as of now, the weather in Queensland is stable. Chances of rain affecting the match look very dim.
Hailstorm and Damages
In the same week, heavy rain coupled with hailstorms lashed several regions of Queensland. Disruptive hailstones measured about 9 millimeters. Power supply was disrupted for almost a whole day in some areas. Several reports of roof damage, window damage, and flooding incidents were reported to the State Emergency Service.
Anxiety over a possible match cancellation
Though the weather is now clear, the fans of cricket are not optimistic. Sudden rain can disrupt the game anytime. The first match of this five-match series was cancelled due to rain. Since both the teams are now tied at 1-1, the outcome of this fourth game is crucial. If the rain causes a cancellation, the winner will be decided in the fifth T20 at the Gabba in Brisbane on Saturday.
