Adelaide Oval weather December 20

In its first week, BBL 12 managed to be conducted in a conducive environment with respect to the climate. A major worry during ICC T20 World Cup 2022, rainfall hasn’t interrupted any match of this season as of now.

Adelaide, however, has it in it to receive rainfall in a considerable amount on December 20. Right from the wee hours till noon, there’s a proper rain forecast in the city. If weather portal AccuWeather is to be believed, rain probability will remain in vicinity of 50% in the aforementioned period.

However, a major relief for the cricketing fraternity regarding a night match is that the rain probability will decrease significantly by the time the match is slated to begin (06:45 PM). Readers must note that AccuWeather predicts a single-digit rain probability during the match hours which is further expected to diminish completely by the business hours of the first innings itself.

In such a scenario, one doesn’t expect the match to be halted for a significant duration assuming that rain causes an interruption in a worst-case scenario.
