You must have heard about turning the tables. But if you want to see the tables turning then you can watch the test match between India and New Zealand going on in Bengaluru. The lead of 356 runs in the first innings does not reduce. If a team gets such a big lead, the opposite team surrenders. But, Team India did not do this. His batsmen counterattacked in the second innings. Especially Sarfaraz Khan seems to be turning the tables. The threat of defeat which was looming over India after Sarfaraz's century, may now turn towards New Zealand. And, this is the reason why rain in Bengaluru is not needed by India but by New Zealand.

rain in bengaluru

Rain in Bengaluru was good news for Team India. But, India showed such a game that now we have to say the same for New Zealand. On the fourth day of the Bengaluru Test, rain stopped the play of the first session prematurely, due to which lunch took place early. Due to rain, there is a delay in the play of the second session also.

Now it is spoiling India's game more than making rain.

If we look at Team India's point of view, rain is not a good sign for them. That too when he is just 12 runs away from overcoming New Zealand's lead and taking the lead. India still have 7 wickets left. Rishabh Pant is at the crease with Sarfaraz Khan. There have been century partnerships between the two. Sarfaraz Khan is unbeaten after scoring his first Test century while Rishabh Pant is playing after scoring a half century. It is clear that India seems to be on the front foot. In such a situation, instead of making it, the rain is spoiling the game.

Because, the longer the match is stopped due to rain, the time of the match will also keep getting washed out. And, this will mean that even if Team India wants to set a target for New Zealand and write the story of its victory, it cannot do so.

No problem for New Zealand, rain is a blessing!

From New Zealand's point of view, rain is no longer a problem but a blessing. This is because if the rain does not disturb the match further, then something will happen to it, which has not happened till now. In fact, after taking a lead of more than 200 runs in the first innings, New Zealand has not lost a single match so far. This happened to him in 58 matches, out of which he won 44 and drew 14. Meaning not a single match has been lost.
But, the way Sarfaraz Khan is seen turning the tables with first Virat Kohli and then Rishabh Pant in the Bengaluru Test, pressure has been put on New Zealand. New Zealand knows very well that a lead of 200 runs with 7 wickets in hand is not a big deal. And then chasing it would be like chewing iron gram on the Bengaluru pitch in the fourth innings.

What does the weather of Bengaluru say?

Let us now take a look at the weather of Bengaluru. According to Weather.com, there are chances of intermittent rain in Bengaluru on October 19 and this is also happening. There are 90 percent chances of rain in Bengaluru even on the 5th day i.e. 20th October. The sky will be cloudy since morning, while rain may be seen in the afternoon. It is clear that if the rain continues then after taking the lead in the first innings of 356 runs, another draw is written in New Zealand's account. At the same time, if the weather turns and the match takes place, then it can be a chance for India to make a comeback.
