If the weather spoils the game in Bengaluru, then Team India will suffer a huge loss, it will be difficult to reach the WTC final.
Bengaluru weather update India vs New Zealand Test: Clouds of crisis are looming over the first Test between India and New Zealand to be held in Bengaluru. The match is to be played from October 16 and heavy rain is expected in Bengaluru on this day. Not only this, it is also a matter of tension that after this there is talk of rain for the remaining four days also. If the weather forecast proves correct then the tension will increase for the Indian team. We are talking about the World Test Championship here.
Team India is currently at number one in the World Test Championship points table.
The Indian cricket team is considered a strong contender to play the final of the World Test Championship under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Team India is currently on top in the WTC points table. India will try to defeat New Zealand in the three-match series and take its PCT further, so that even if it loses a few matches in the series against Australia, it does not have much impact on playing the final. But these hopes of Rohit Sharma and India have been dashed. Rain can prevent this from happening.
Indian team’s PCT will be affected
If we look at the World Test Championship points table, the Indian team is currently at 74.240. But what if the match in Bengaluru is canceled due to rain. In such a situation, the match will be drawn and Team India’s PCT, which is currently 74.240, will reduce to 70.83. That means India will suffer huge losses. If we talk about New Zealand, then this team is currently at sixth position in the WTC points table with a PCT of 37.500. If Bengaluru test is not conducted then his PCT will reduce to 37.04. That means New Zealand will not suffer much loss as per PCT.
There is a possibility of rain in Bengaluru and surrounding areas also
Meanwhile, if we talk about the weather of Bengaluru on October 16, there is a possibility of 70 to 90 percent rain here on the first day. There is also a possibility of strong wind. Not only this, there is talk of rain not only in Karnataka but also in the surrounding areas. Yellow alert has been issued here also. That is, if we look at it overall, it can be seen that whether there is less or more rain, there is bound to be disruption during the match. Indian fans will hope that the match takes place and Team India is successful in winning it, so that it can take another step closer to the final of the World Test Championship.
