Yesterday witnessed the fourth match of the ICC World Cup 2019 washed away by the rain gods at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. While the fans have already started criticising ICC for their non-arrangement of reserve days, it also affects the morale of the players.

Rains with chilly winds had already abandoned the last match between South Africa and West Indies at Hampshire Bowl, Southampton on Monday. Since then, the pitch has been covered and the weather has slightly improved over these 5 days.
The day would be characterised by overcast conditions with spells of little drizzles over time during the initial hours of the game as per the BBC weather forecast. After that, the clouds will partially give way to sun, raising the temperature to around 15-17 degree Celsius in the afternoon.
The evening would be mostly sunny keeping the end hours favourable. The day would be characterised by spells of light showers along with sunlight keeping the condition dry. Winds would be blowing at around 15-16 km per hour which could chill the surroundings.
The pitch probably remains the same as of Monday which gave seamers a good chance to swing it. So, the same is expected for today’s match. The outfield here is usually fast when it's dry and, barring no overnight rain, that should still be the case.
