The final match of the ICC Test Championship between India and Australia will be played from June 7. Both teams will be face to face in England's Oval. Both India and Australia are waiting for the first title. Team India last lost in the 2019-2021 edition. He was defeated by New Zealand in the final. This time the Indian team would like to return home with the title.
Meanwhile, Australia is also making necessary preparations for the final. The match, to be held at the Oval in London from June 7 to 11, will start at 3:30 pm Indian time. Australian batsman Steve Smith has predicted that the pitch at The Oval will favor the batsmen, with a subcontinent-like wicket expected to favor spinners as the match progresses.
What is the weather forecast during the match
According to the report of Accuweather, the weather will be absolutely clear on the first four days of the match. However, there is a 56 per cent chance of rain on the last day of the match. In such a situation, the result of the match can be affected by it. Now the question arises that what if it rains on the fifth day of the Test? Has ICC kept reserve day? If the match is a draw then which team will become the champion?
What if it rains?
If an hour or two of play is lost due to rain, the umpires can make up for it on the same day. At the same time, if it rains on any day of the match, then the umpire will have an extra day. He can take the match till the reserve day.
What if the match is drawn?
If the match ends in a draw or tie, both the teams will be declared joint winners.
