The big match between India and New Zealand i.e. the final of the World Test Championship is being played at Ajas Bowl Stadium in Southampton. Today is the 5th day of the game and New Zealand team will start playing 101 for 2 wickets. Captain Kane Williamson on the crease is on 12 and Ross Taylor is standing without opening the account. Let us tell you that Team India was reduced to 217 runs in the first innings. In this sense, he is still ahead of 116 runs against New Zealand.

After the first day, the fourth day of the match was also completely washed out due to rain. Play could take place only on the second and third days, but still two innings could not be completed. Day 5 of the match is going to be very special. It will be known on this day whether the result of the match will be out or a draw.

If on the 5th day it is sunny and the game takes place, then Team India’s target will be to stop New Zealand from taking the lead. If this happens, then the Kiwi team will be all out soon. In such a situation, Team India would like to give a big target to New Zealand in the Reserve Day by scoring maximum runs on the 5th day. Let us tell you that after the two days of the test were washed out by rain, it is almost certain to use the reserve day.

According to the Meteorological Department, like on the fourth day, the fans may be disappointed on the fifth day as well. That is, there is a 65% chance of rain in Southampton on Tuesday, so fans may get to see very little play. The sky will remain cloudy throughout the day. The temperature is likely to remain minimum 8 degree Celsius to maximum 17 degree Celsius.
