Bengaluru: After winning the Test series against Bangladesh 2-0, India is now eyeing the Test series against New Zealand. This Test series is very important for India from the point of view of the World Test Championship (WTC). If India is successful in winning this series 3-0, then it will be very easy for them to reach the final of the WTC. Talking about the New Zealand team, their Asia tour so far has not gone well. They had to face 2-0 defeat in the Test series played against Sri Lanka.

Chance of rain on all days of test match in Bengaluru
They will try to make a strong comeback in Bengaluru and their team is expert in this thing. There is a high possibility of rain all day during this match. India's practice session was also canceled on Tuesday due to rain. The first Test between the two teams was to start from today, but due to rain the toss has not taken place yet. It is raining heavily in Bengaluru. The pitch has been covered for the last several days.

Spinners' game will deteriorate, fast bowlers will suffer.
If the weather conditions remain the same and remain cloudy, then despite the match being held, the spinners will not be able to get the kind of help that is often expected on Indian pitches. Apart from this, fast bowlers can get help in such conditions. If reports are to be believed, there is a possibility of even heavier rain in the afternoon. There may be heavy rain from around 2 pm to 4 pm. If this happens then it is unlikely that a toss will be possible.
However, one thing is also that India has an eye on the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and in such a situation their bowlers can get a good opportunity to prepare. Virat Kohli and Tim Southee in the news: It may be a little difficult to understand the form of Virat Kohli. India has not played much Test cricket in recent times, but Kohli has scored 2 centuries in his last 8 Test innings.
Before this he was not in form for a long time. Now with a big series against Australia coming up at the end of the year, people will be keen to know where his form stands. Tim Southee was the captain of New Zealand till about two weeks ago. However, he left the captaincy after the clean sweep in Sri Lanka.

He is just 18 wickets away from taking 400 wickets in Test cricket. Southee is an important part of New Zealand's bowling attack. He can help his team by using his experience on Indian pitches.
