Few sports will be impacted by the weather as much as cricket is.
Firstly, games will be postponed during rain, however, the lost time isn’t always made up for. This means the more rain there is, the less cricket is played. This can increase the odds of a draw or a low scoring result.
The sunsetting will also have a big impact on the outcome of a cricket game. In 2010 a rule was introduced which allows umpires to stop the game for ‘bad light’.
So if a match loses 3 hours to rain, they may not be able to make those innings up later in the day if the sun goes down.
Before having a bet on a cricket match, check the weather forecast and decide what impact the conditions are likely to have on the match and your bets.
