IND vs NZ, World Test Championship Final: Let’s have a look at today’s latest Southampton weather updates from Day 6 of the WTC final at the Rose Bowl in Southampton.
After affecting the first four days of the current World Trials Championship final between India and New Zealand, the weather in Southampton was lenient on Tuesday. Fans saw a full day of play after a delayed start at the Rose Bowl. As the high voltage clash enters the sixth day, which is a reserve day, the weather should be bright with very little chance of rain.
According to AccuWeather, this will be a pleasant scenario. The sun will be there with minimal cloud cover. Unlike the previous days of the game, the forecast shows zero precipitation throughout the day.
The humidity will drop to 47% in the afternoon while it should increase to 74% by the evening. The cloud can come back during the last session of the game.
But the good news is, the sun will be shining the whole day, ensuring a complete 98 overs of play on Wednesday.
The Indian team will look to capitalize on the conditions as they will resume the heats on 64/2 after losing the first two games – Rohit Sharma (30) and Shubman Gill (8) – before the stumps on Day 5. They lead Nova. Zealand by 32 runs. With a day of play expected, India would like to beat at least a session and a half to get into a safe position before giving New Zealand 50 odd overs and 200+ targets if they are to impose a result.
The game of Day 5 certainly belonged to Mohammed Shami as he single-handedly brought India back into the game. After an amazing morning, Shami got a few more wickets in the post-lunch session. He fired Colin de Grandhomme with a delivery that stung and Jamieson with a bouncer.
