Here is how the conditions will likely play out hour-by-hour during the match:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>7 PM (Toss &amp; Start):<\/strong> The match kicks off at 27\u00b0C under mostly clear skies. While the temperature is pleasant, the 64% humidity will already be a factor for the bowlers. With winds at 19 km\/h from the South, the new ball might see some initial swing, giving Arshdeep <strong>Singh<\/strong> and <strong>Shamar Joseph<\/strong> something to work with early on.<\/li>\n<li><strong>8 PM (first innings progress):<\/strong> As we move into the heart of the first innings, the temperature dips slightly to 25\u00b0C, but humidity jumps significantly to 74%. This is when the indoor humidity feel becomes very humid, potentially making the ball slippery for the spinners like <strong>Gudakesh Motie<\/strong> and <strong>Varun Chakaravarthy<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>9 PM (mid-innings break):<\/strong> The temperature remains steady at 25\u00b0C, but the humidity climbs further to 79%. The wind gusts increase to 24 km\/h, which could assist power hitters like <strong>Shimron Hetmyer<\/strong> or <a href=\"https:\/\/crickettimes.com\/player\/58733\/shivam-dube\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Shivam Dube<\/strong><\/a> when clearing the boundary, but the heavy air will test the players\u2019 physical endurance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>10 PM (The Chase):<\/strong> As the second innings intensifies, it cools to 24\u00b0C with partly cloudy skies. Humidity hits a grueling 81%. Dew is almost certain to play a massive role here, favoring the batting side as the ball becomes harder to grip for the fielding team.<\/li>\n<li><strong>11 PM (The Death Overs):<\/strong> In the final stretch, conditions remain at 24\u00b0C and 81% humidity. Wind gusts of 26 km\/h from the SSW may persist. Fielders will need to be extra sharp in the deep as the real feel remains higher than the actual temp, making the closing moments a test of pure mental grit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Also READ:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/crickettimes.com\/2026\/02\/sunil-gavaskar-highlights-silver-lining-of-south-africa-defeat-following-indias-t20-world-cup-super-8-triumph-vs-zimbabwe\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Sunil Gavaskar highlights silver lining of South Africa defeat following India\u2019s T20 World Cup Super 8 triumph vs Zimbabwe<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/crickettimes.com\/2026\/03\/ind-vs-wi-t20-world-cup-2026-super-8-kolkatas-hourly-weather-forecast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The historic Eden Gardens prepares for a high-octane clash as India face off against the West Indies in a pivotal T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 encounter.
