Team India is eight wickets away from creating history in the second Test at the Wanderers ground. On the other hand, South Africa has scored 118 runs in response to the target of 240 runs. Now he needs 122 more runs on the fourth day i.e. today. But among all these equations, rain is also an important factor. Today the weather will be foul.
chance of rain
After the good weather for the first three days, now there is a possibility of heavy rain on the fourth and fifth days. The first hour can certainly be played without any disturbance. But after that there is a possibility of rain throughout the day. Clouds will hide and seek. Let’s take a look at the weather forecast for the day today.
Who will benefit from the rain?
At present, 70 per cent of the match is tilted in South Africa’s court. He is a strong contender for victory, but even if it rains, the advantage will go to the hosts as they will get the heavy roller on the pitch before the start of the day’s play, which will reduce the extra bounce from the turf in the opening hour of play.
Dean Elgar needs to be dismissed
South African captain Elgar put on 47 for the first wicket with Aiden Markram (31) and 46 for the second wicket with Keegan Pietersen (28) to prevent India from dominating. Markram, who has been struggling to score runs in this series so far, showed his intentions by hitting some credible shots but Shardul Thakur continued to trouble him as soon as he handled the ball. Shardul maintained line and length even after two LBW appeals were turned down. Neither the umpire nor the batsman doubted his third appeal. After this, Pietersen along with his captain did not let the wicket fall for the next 16 overs and in the meantime added 46 runs for the second wicket. Pietersen got lbw after being bitten by Ravichandran Ashwin’s fast spin ball.
