NEW DELHI: Overcast conditions in Southampton are very likely to disrupt play on day one of the World Test Championship final today between India and New Zealand.
According to most weather forecasts, as per the UK Met department – “long periods of heavy and thundery rain” are expected in Southampton today.
The weather forecast across all platforms shows heavy rain in Southampton today. In fact the really worrying part is that rain is forecast on all 5 days of the match and the sixth day, which the ICC has kept as a reserve day to guard against bad weather conditions. However, if a significant amount of time is lost due to rain, one extra day might not be enough to salvage what is a big ticket encounter.
