IND vs NZ 1st Test Updates
The first day of the much-anticipated Test match in Bengaluru was unfortunately washed out due to incessant rain, dampening the spirits of cricket fans and players alike. The weather in the city has been unusually cold, murky, and gloomy for the past couple of days, and the conditions reached a tipping point today, with the rain persisting throughout the day. Let’s look at IND vs NZ 1st Test Updates Today.
Despite the excitement surrounding the match, not a single ball was bowled, and the day ended with an unfortunate announcement that the play had been called off. It was one of those days where nothing seemed to go right. The day started with light showers, which grew heavier as time progressed.
Despite a few brief spells where it seemed like the weather might ease up, the rain never really stopped. The persistent downpour also prevented the ground staff from doing their usual pitch preparations. Reports from the venue indicated that the curator hadn’t been able to inspect the pitch for the last three days due to the continuous rain.
