Weather update ahead of third T20I between Pakistan and New Zealand

The weather forecast for Auckland, New Zealand, ahead of the third T20I between Pakistan and New Zealand on March 21 suggests partly cloudy skies with a slight chance of rain. 

According to AccuWeather report, The temperature will be around 15°C during the night, with a RealFeel® of 15°C as well. Winds will be coming from the west-southwest at 9 km/h, with gusts reaching up to 22 km/h. The probability of precipitation stands at just 8%, with no thunderstorms expected. The cloud cover is expected to be around 31%.

While the chance of rain appears low, the possibility of weather disruptions remains a concern, especially given the rain-affected second T20I, which saw New Zealand securing a five-wicket win.

However, the match between the New Zealand women’s team and the Australia women’s team was not affected by rain and was completed at the same venue earlier today.

New Zealand currently leads the series 2-0 after dominating the opening game with a nine-wicket victory and securing the second match despite the rain. For Pakistan, this third T20I is crucial. Another defeat would mean they won't be able to keep their hopes alive in the series.
