28 October 2016 at Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground: 19 °C, humidity 69%, wind 4 km/h and 0 mm of rain during the hours of play. 4 of 430 evenings within three weeks of 12 November in the last 10 years had at least 1 mm of rain at Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground during these hours.

These conditions are warm and dry, with no rain expected during the match. Only 2% of games in similar weather at Kirtipur and Kathmandu have been shortened or washed out, so rain should not be a factor. The match is a day-night game, and the weather is unlikely to interfere with either innings. Heat and wind have shown some association with scoring at these grounds, but no measurable effect on the result.

During play: 18.7 °C on average, humidity 69%, wind 4 km/h gusting to 22. Humidity climbs from 59% to 70%; at Kirtipur and Kathmandu, chasing success hasn't varied with humidity.
