The Narendra Modi Stadium will be like an oven when the top two teams in the Indian Premier League clash on Tuesday to book a place in the final on Sunday (May 26) at Chennai. Both Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) flew over 1000 km to arrive here on Monday after finishing their league engagements on Sunday at Guwahati and Hyderabad respectively.
According to the weather forecast, this city, which lies on the banks of the Sabarmati River, is set to experience excessive heat in the next two days. On Sunday, the mercury levels here touched a maximum of 45 degrees. And it is learnt that when the IPL table-toppers begin their Qualifier 1 clash at 7:30pm, the temperature will be in the 40s and could drop to around 38 by the time one of them books a place in the final, around 11pm.
