Hyderabad and Kolkata were initially chosen as hosts, but after a week pause caused to increase border tensions, both the political situation and the weather patterns changed dramatically.
With the updated weather data on the hand, the Council said that Kolkata had 65% rain chances on the last day, while Ahmedabad’s forecast showed only 3% chance. This significant difference led to the decision to move the final game to Ahmedabad to ensure a good finish.
