The sky may remain cloudy after 12 pm ( Local Time ) but there is no possibility of drizzle for the whole day. But the entire day will be windy and pacers may benefit from this condition.  

Previously Bangladesh’s one of the warm up match against Pakistan was washed out due to rain. There was concern about the rain in the warm up match against India too.  

Bangladesh played one of their two warm up matches. In the warm up match against India they lost by 95 runs. But Bangladesh will take their inspiration from the tri-nation series win in Ireland. Bangladesh will want to start their World cup campaign with a win as it’s very important to start the tournament on the front foot. And South Africa will also want to bounce back from their heavy defeat against England.
