Rain Delays IND vs NZ Match at M Chinnaswamy Stadium- Grapevine

Seems like RCB is batting first and they need to win by more than 18 runs if its a full 20 over match

I'm gonna say I'm biased. Go RCB!

Match Thread: RCB vs CSK 🏏

Founder

Here are some insights into the game between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR):

- Head-to-head: MI leads the rivalry where KKR has 10 wins, while MI has 23 wins. Mumbai Indians will return to Eden Gardens where they enjoy a good record having won 10 out of 13 matches at this venue. 

- Batting: KKR's top order, including Sunil Marine and Phil Salt, has been in great form, while MI's Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma have been their top performer. 

- Bowling: KKR's Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy have been their top spinners, while MI's Jasprit Bumrah is leading their pace attack. 

- Pitch: The pitch at Eden Gardens is expected to be a batting-friendly surface, with high scores expected.

- Weather: Although it has been raining in Kolkata, the forecast around the match time looks promising.

-KKR has a slight edge over MI, given their current form and last win at Wankhede after 12 years. However, MI has the potential to upset KKR if their top order fires and their bowlers can contain KKR's batting.

Bangalore, why won't you rain when it's most needed?

A well-marked low pressure area currently centered over the southwest and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal poses a direct threat to Bangalore in the coming days. As of 1130 hours IST on October 15, 2024, meteorological data indicates a high probability of this system affecting our city. Here's what you need to know:

1. System Intensification:
The low pressure area is expected to intensify into a depression within the next 12 hours. This rapid development warrants close attention as it will likely influence the system's impact on inland areas, including Bangalore.

2. Projected Path:
The forecast track, clearly visible in the right-hand map, shows a west-northwestward movement. Critically, Bangalore falls within the green-shaded "cone of uncertainty," indicating a significant probability of direct impact.

3. Timing:
The system is projected to reach the coasts of north Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and adjoining south Andhra Pradesh by early morning of October 17th. Given Bangalore's geographic position relative to these areas, we can expect to feel the system's effects potentially starting late on October 16th, with peak impact likely on October 17th.

4. Potential Impacts:

 **Precipitation:** Expect substantial rainfall, potentially leading to urban flooding given Bangalore's topography and infrastructure.

 **Wind:** Increased wind speeds may affect city operations and outdoor activities.

**Temperature:** A likely drop in daytime temperatures due to increased cloud cover and precipitation.

5. Urban Considerations:
Bangalore's urban heat island effect and extensive paved surfaces may exacerbate flooding risks. The city's stormwater drainage system will be put to the test.

6. Broader Context:
While the Arabian Sea depression mentioned is moving away from the Indian subcontinent, its presence may indirectly influence overall atmospheric conditions, potentially intensifying the Bay of Bengal system's effects.

7. Uncertainty Factors:
The "cone of uncertainty" in the image underscores the inherent variability in weather system predictions. Residents should prepare for a range of scenarios within this cone.

Bangalore Situation right now

The weather in Barbados looks favorable with partly cloudy conditions. It seems like it's going to be a high-scoring match. With high wind speeds, pacers will likely have an advantage over spinners on this pitch.

IND vs SA: Expecting a Full 40 Overs Match

New to the city and it makes no sense to me whatsoever. Having lived through all major metros in the country, Bangalore feels like a Tier-2 town covered with Tier-1 wrapping paper.

Why does this city instantly become water logged in 30 seconds of rain?

Probably because they built buildings where lakes provided natural refuge to rain water bro.

Product Manager

I hope we're not heading back to warmer days :?

What is up with Bangalore weather? It's suddenly sunny in the day and warmer too in the nights.

Growth Manager

I believe it’s because they behave like guests in Blore and never truly accept the culture.

Just like other problems in Blore, this too can be solved if outsiders like Virat Kohli & Faf start accepting local culture.

Thoughts?

Why do you think RCB doesn’t do well in IPL?

Bengaluru Faces Severe Flooding Amid Heavy Rains

On my way back from the office and it started thundering and drizzling. Got me real excited and I didn’t mind getting a little drenched on my bike. 

But the excitement to see the first proper rains was quickly outdone by the horror of Bangalore’s almost impressively bad sewage system back in action. It only gets worse, to see the first rains immediately turn to sludge and the dirty water spray around, when they hit the dirt laden streets and the traffic completely choked due to bad roads was a nightmare to drive through. 

Getting wet in the rain seemed a mistake. Idk if anything will make this city get off this doomed trajectory it’s on.
