For the match itself, the low (17 %) likelihood of rain means organisers and fans can breathe a little easier; interruptions remain unlikely, though not entirely out of the question. The cloud cover may dampen the vibrancy of the stadium lighting early on but should not affect the play significantly. For the players, the slightly cooler conditions may favour bowlers, particularly seamers, who thrive when the ball holds a little longer under overcast skies.
