Mount Maunganui Weather Forecast – After the first match was abandoned in Wellington without the toss, the weather news from Mount Maunganui is also not encouraging. The forecast suggest heavy showers during the IND vs NZ 2nd T20. The weather gods haven’t been kind in the Trans-Tasman region over the past couple of months, but Hardik Pandya and Co will hope to get a game away at the Bay Oval.
