Nagpur weather right now: Is it raining in Nagpur now?

Nagpur weather right now: Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium has already been started to be thronged by spectators.

A significant chunk of the Indian population marked its presence in the cinema halls today. With the country celebrating its first-ever National Cinema Day, ticket prices have been reduced to INR 75 per ticket across movies, cinema chains and cities barring a few exceptions.

Apart from the movies already playing in cinema halls, a couple of new releases catering to the suspense and thriller genre have further motivated people to watch movies on the first day itself.

Despite a heavy dose of suspense inside Indian cinema halls on September 23, there still remains a substantial thirst for the same elsewhere. Scheduled to host the second India vs Australia T20I tonight, the city of Nagpur has been providing mixed signals with respect to its climate adding to the suspense element for the day around whether it will rain or not.

Nagpur weather right now

While training sessions of both the teams had been cancelled due to rain yesterday, weather prediction for Friday is conducive for uninterrupted action at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium. Having said that, overcast atmosphere in the city since morning ensures no guarantee.

If live images from the VCA Stadium are to be believed, it wasn’t raining in the city minutes before the toss. However, a minimum of 90-minute delay to the coin toss has happened because of some wet patches on the ground.

Been straight away brought into the limelight, the ground staff is working extremely hard to prepare ideal conditions for players. Assuming that the weather prediction holds true and it doesn’t rain any further, fans can expect a truncated contest as the start time has been pushed ahead substantially due to a wet outfield.

With this venue getting to host both a T20 and an international match after almost three years, it would be quite a shame if the match is affected by something as uncontrollable as bad weather.

UPDATE: Match officials will conduct a ground inspection at 08:00 PM (IST).
