The first Test match in Bengaluru started on the second day due to rain. On the fourth day, rain disturbed and the match had to be stopped in the middle. Team India captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli also expressed displeasure over the umpire’s decision. Now Rohit Sharma and co. needs some charisma to win this match. If the fifth day’s play is canceled due to rain, then this match will be declared a draw.
After this, the eyes of both teams will be on the next two Test matches of the series. At the same time, some team India fans would also like that Sunday’s game will be washed away due to rain.
According to AccuWeather’s report, the weather conditions will be completely poor on the fifth day. The sky will be cloudy and the sun will barely come out. Thunderstorms are expected around 9 am and 10 am, which means the start of play could be delayed and then start at 3 p.m.

Team India has to survive in these 2 hours, in which the Kiwi team will think of chasing the target while sensing the mood of the weather. If Team India takes over the first 2 hours of play, then the rain can avoid the danger of defeat looming over them. New Zealand have to score 107 runs with all ten wickets in hand to win the Test match. The target might not look challenging, but the surface at the M Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium can turn tricky on the fifth day for the batters.Indian bowlers will have to take advantage of the overcast condition in Bengaluru. In the fourth day’s play, there was heavy rain; in the end, there will be moisture on the ground and pitch. New Zealand can try to score runs with quick fashion from the beginning of the day. If then Indian bowlers can take advantage of the weather situation, then tables can start to turn, like on the first inning when New Zealand cease the Indian innings at 46 runs.
