Will rain save India from defeat in WTC 2023 final? Oval weather is going to be like this
The World Test Championship (WTC) final match is being played between India and Australia at the Oval in London. After the completion of three days of the final match, the Indian team is looking very difficult in this match. The Australian team has a big edge. By the end of the third day’s play, Australia had a total lead of 296 runs. At the same time, the Indian team has also taken four wickets in this match.
To stop Australia, Indian bowlers will have to take six wickets so that the Indian team can win. India will need to take Australia’s remaining six wickets quickly to stay in the match and then expect an effective performance from the batsmen. At the end of the day’s play, Marnus Labuschagne was at the crease scoring 41 and Cameron Green scoring seven runs. Earlier, Rahane hit 11 fours and a six in his 129-ball innings, while Shardul hit six fours in his 109-ball innings.
rain can spoil the game
According to the information, the fourth and fifth day’s game can be washed away in the rain. The rain did not disturb the play in the first three days but there is a lot of possibility of rain in London on 10th June. At the same time, the Meteorological Department has expressed more chances of rain on the last day of the match. At the same time, the shadow of rain is hovering over the Reserve Day as well. Significantly, in this match, the Indian team has performed very embarrassingly in the first innings. In such a situation, rain can play an important role in saving India from defeat.
this was the first innings
Australia, who scored 469 runs in the first innings, took India’s first innings for 296 runs and took a lead of 173 runs, taking their overall lead to 296 runs at the end of the day’s play. India will need to take Australia’s remaining six wickets quickly to stay in the match and then expect an effective performance from the batsmen. At the end of the day’s play, Marnus Labuschagne was at the crease scoring 41 and Cameron Green scoring seven runs. Earlier, Rahane hit 11 fours and a six in his 129-ball innings, while Shardul hit six fours in his 109-ball innings. Shardul scored his third half-century in his third innings at the Oval ground. Indian bowlers bowled brilliantly in the second innings. Mohammad Siraj (one for 41) hit Labushen twice in the fourth over of the second innings after walking David Warner (one run). Both times the ball hit Labushen’s body. In the third session of the day, Umesh Yadav (1/21) ended Usman Khawaja’s 13-run innings by getting him caught behind by Bharat. Labushen then reduced the pressure by hitting a four against Umesh and Smith against Mohammed Shami.
Labushen completed the half-century of Australia’s innings by taking three runs off Umesh in the 20th over. Both kept Australia’s score running smoothly. Meanwhile, Labushen hit a spectacular four off Siraj and Shardul, while Smith opened his hand against Jadeja by sending the ball across the boundary. Smith was caught in the act of playing another big shot against this left-arm bowler and Shardul did not make any mistake in catching the catch. Smith and Labushen shared a 62-run partnership for the third wicket. Travis Head (18 runs), who scored a century in the first innings, expressed his intentions by hitting a six against Siraj. Umesh gave life to Jadeja by dropping his catch near the boundary but this bowler took a brilliant catch on his own ball.
