International cricket returns to Bengaluru after two years as India takes on the West Indies in the fifth and final T20I at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday.

With the series level at 2-2, India will be keen to avoid losing a second consecutive bilateral T20I series to the West Indies after its 2-3 defeat away from home in August 2023.

However, the weather could pose a challenge, with the Karnataka capital experiencing humid mornings and showers in the late afternoons and evenings since the onset of the northeast monsoon.

Bengaluru weather forecast for October 17

According to AccuWeather, Bengaluru is expected to experience “considerable cloudiness with a couple of thunderstorms in the afternoon” on October 17.

Thunderstorms are also forecast for the evening, with overcast conditions expected to persist.
