With the World Test Championship on the horizon, the stakes are rising, along with the frustration caused by rain disrupting crucial matches. The highly anticipated Test match between India and New Zealand in Bengaluru was especially significant, given the WTC points table. However, the first day of the match was thwarted by relentless rain.
Heavy rainfall had been prevalent since yesterday, leading bo𒁃th teams to cancel the༒ir practice sessions. While the rain paused for a brief period last night, it resumed early this morning. Both sides arrived at the stadium on time, but few players ventured out to the ground as the downpour continued. Match officials conducted inspections, but early lunch and tea breaks were called as a precaution. There was still some optimism that play could commence once the rain ceased, thanks to the excellent drainage system at Chinnaswamy Stadium.
However, as the dark clouds loomed overhead, hopes for a game began to fade. Ult🐻imately, around 2:30 PM IST, match officials decided to call off the day, citing no chance of play as the rain continued to come and go. All hopes n♔ow rest on tomorrow with the toss scheduled for 8:45 AM.
Washed away
Day 1 of the Test washed out because of no rain. But it’s incredible with the amount of rain Bengaluru has received that the grou💛nd is still in top notch condition. That’s where sub-air comes in. Hope we get some 🔆 on day 2
