Last day's play and New Zealand have a target of 107 runs. It is clear that the sword of danger is hanging over Team India. But, this sword can be removed if the Indian team handles the first 2 hours of play on the 5th day of the Bengaluru Test. Yes, the weather of October 20 in Bengaluru is not bad from India's point of view. The Indian team can get full support from the Bengaluru weather in saving the Test match, if it plays well in the first 2 hours against New Zealand.

Team India does not have to worry for 2 hours!

During the first 2 hours of the 5th day's play that we are talking about, the sky would have been cloudy. But there is no rain. The weather is expected to remain like this from 9 am to 11 am. Team India has to survive in these 2 hours, in which the Kiwi team will think of chasing the target by sensing the nature of the weather. Team India can handle the first 2 hours of play, then further rain can avert the danger of defeat looming over them.

Rain will break New Zealand's wishes!

There are chances of rain in Bengaluru throughout the day from 11:30 am. The nature of the weather is such that even if the rain stops after 11:30 in the morning, by the time the match starts again, it may rain again. These patterns of rain can push the Test match between India and New Zealand towards a draw.

If the rain leaves its full impact on the day's play, which is also predicted, then it may also spoil New Zealand's desire to register its first Test win on Indian soil after 1988 i.e. 36 years.

Status of India-New Zealand test

Talking about the match, after Team India was reduced to 46 runs in the first innings, New Zealand had scored 402 runs in its first innings. In this way he got a huge lead of 356 runs.
