India vs. South Africa, 5th ODI: The Weather Forecast

India took an unassailable 3-0 lead in the six-match Momentum ODI Series. It will be interesting to witness whether India quickly regroups to clinch the series in Port Elizabeth or South Africa add another win to not allow India a historic series win. However, like in the fourth ODI, the weather may play a part in how the match unfolds. After lightening and rain halted play multiple times at Johannesburg, there is a possibility of showers in Port Elizabeth on the match day. There are more than 45 percent chances of rain on Tuesday morning till 12 PM (local time). An hour before the start of play and thirty minutes prior to tossing may happen. However, the fans can hope for a good day's action as the chances of rain go down drastically after 12 PM (3.30 PM IST). There is an indication of showers earlier in the day. However, the weather, despite the cloud cover, in the evening is unlikely to play spoilsport.
