IND vs NZ: Bengaluru Test falls prey to rain, first day's play canceled without toss
India vs New Zealand, 1st Test, Stumps: BCCI has given an update that on Thursday, on the second day of the Test, 98 overs will be bowled, the toss will be at 8:45, while the first ball will be bowled at 9:15.
The first match of the three-match Test series is being played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru between India and New Zealand. This match's first day of play has been called off without a toss. The umpires cancelled the game because the pitch could not dry out quickly enough because of the pits on the field, even though the rain stopped for a while in between.
There is a risk of heavy rain for several days today, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), which has issued an orange signal in Bengaluru. It will take time to determine whether or not this match will occur in such a circumstance. Meanwhile, the Karnataka government has also declared a holiday in schools on Wednesday due to the orange alert, while many tech companies have advised their employees to work from home.
