    IND vs SA Perth weather: Check the weather in Perth before India's 2022 T20 World Cup match.

    Digital Desk: The weather is unlikely to be a factor in India's T20 World Cup Super 12 encounter against South Africa on Sunday in Perth. 

    According to the Meteorological department, there is just a 20% chance of rain. "It's partly cloudy. Showers are possible (30%). "Winds south to southwesterly 25 to 35 km/h becoming light in the late evening," according to the forecast. 

    However, the Indian squad conducted an optional net session on Saturday in damp and chilly Perth. 

    The current World Cup in Australia has been hampered by inclement weather, particularly in Melbourne. On Friday, the city saw two back-to-back washouts, with England and Australia dividing points and Afghanistan and Ireland splitting points.

    India leads the group with four points from its first two games and is in a strong position to advance to the semifinals. A Net Run Rate of +1.425 is also a good start. 

    Zimbabwe's surprising victory over Pakistan has given it a fighting chance, but it will still need to win at least two, if not all three of its remaining matches. 

    After a crushing 104-run victory over Bangladesh on Thursday, South Africa has the advantage over Zimbabwe due to a fantastic Net RR of +5.200.
