- October 10: Opening day will be generally clear and hazy, with a high of around 31°C. Northwest winds (WNW) blowing at 10-15 km/h will keep conditions comfortable for players. The sun is expected to shine brightly all day, making batting conditions favorable once the initial morning moisture settles.
- October 11: The second day will see similar conditions, with a high of 31°C and light mist in the air. WNW winds around 10-15 km/h will persist and humidity will remain moderate.

- October 12: On the third day it remains clear and sunny with a maximum temperature of 31°C. Winds are expected to be light and variable, creating calm conditions.

- October 13: The penultimate day will be mainly sunny and misty, with temperatures rising slightly to 32°C. Winds will remain light and air quality may decrease slightly due to the accumulation of mist. The dry surface could provide spinners with more prominent assistance at this stage, creating an intriguing phase of play where cracks start to appear on the pitch.
- October 14: On the last day of the test there are clear and hazy conditions with a maximum temperature of 32°C. The wind remains light and variable, making for a warm and quiet afternoon session.
