On Wednesday, there is a roughly 19 per cent chance of rain in Manchester, according to Accuweather. But as the day goes on, the likelihood of precipitation rises. The likelihood of precipitation rises to 65 per cent in the afternoon. Rainfall of around 1.2 mm is anticipated around that time of day. The likelihood of rain decreases somewhat to 47 per cent in the evening. Rainfall of roughly 0.5 mm is anticipated during that time of day.

Due to the mood that has pervaded Manchester over the past few days and the predicted weather, the Old Trafford pitch is anticipated to have a lot of wetness on its surface. In the past, the ground has been very helpful to the batters in the early going. In the latter stages of the game, bowlers have undoubtedly dominated. Teams batting first have won eight of the ten games played here in the past ten years, with one match ending in a draw. The captains will keep this in mind when they toss the coin because chasing is not the best option at the venue.
