Rain over WTC Final (Photo: BCCI)
New Delhi: The final of the World Test Championship is in its fourth day. But, compared to the last three days, the situation has changed slightly on the fourth day. No, we are talking about the weather, not the competition. The weather which was pleasant for the last 3 days in terms of cricket may look a bit wet on the 4th and 5th day. Means there is shadow of rain on WTC Final.
It is difficult to predict the weather of England anyway. It is difficult to say when it will rain there and when the sun will shine. But, it was already predicted that there would be rain on the 4th and 5th day in the WTC Final.

Shadow of rain on 4th and 5th day
Now according to estimates, rain can become a hindrance in the fourth day’s play. There is news that rain can be seen in England as the day progresses. How long will this rain last and how much will it affect the match, it is difficult to say at the moment.
As it will be on the fourth day, the same situation will be seen on the 5th day of WTC Final. Means now in these two days, how much over will be washed or not. It will depend on that whether reserve day will be used or not.
Reserve Day on June 12, used in 2 cases
Please tell that June 12 has been kept as the reserve day of WTC Final. If the full game cannot be played in the first 5 days, then only there will be chances of the match going to the reserve day. Reserve Day will be used especially in two cases.
First, the overs get washed away due to rain. In this case, the number of overs that will not be played, the game of that number of overs will be played on the reserve day. By the way, reserve day will not be used only for the reduction in overs due to rain. Its second condition is the slow over rate, which Team India is going through at the moment. Team India’s over rate is slow and because of that also if the first 5 days of the game is not completed then it can go to the reserve day.
Reserve day will not be used if very few overs are left
Now the question is whether reserve day will be used even if 10 or less overs are left. So tell that for less than 10 overs, the match may not go to the reserve day. The lights stay on till late in England. Efforts will be made to adjust those overs in 5 days’ play only.
