India vs Bangladesh 3rd T20I: It rained heavily in Hyderabad on Friday (October 11) evening, a day ahead of the third T20I between India and Bangladesh, forcing the groundsmen to cover the square at the Rajiv Gandhi international stadium.
  Will rain play spoilsport in India vs Bangladesh third T20I? The Men in Blue are returning to play a T20I match in Hyderabad after more than two years, and fans are sweating over the possibility of rain in the Telangana capital. In total just three T20I matches have been held at the Hyderabad venue. The first T20I match here between India and Australia in October 2017 was also abandoned without a ball being bowled. It did not rain on the day but the wet outfield forced the umpires to call off the match. It had rained heavily in Hyderabad in the lead up to the match, and wet patches made the playing conditions risky for the players. There were also complaints about lack of proper grounds covers at the stadium. Will it rain on Hyderabad on Saturday, October 12? Yes. However, there is good news as well. AccuWeather has predicted rain around 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM with a precipitation level in excess of 50 percent. However, the precipitation level would drop to 20 percent soon. The match is scheduled to start at 7:00 PM IST. The precipitation level will be as low as 7 percent by then as per AccuWeather, No overnight rain has been predicted either, and that also rules out a situation like 2017. India have won the first two matches and taken an unassailable 2-0. They will be playing for a 3-0 series win, while Bangladesh would be eyeing for a consolation win before the end of their India tour.
