IND vs NZ 1st Test Day 5 Live Updates:The first Test of the three-match series between India and New Zealand is being played in Bengaluru. The match has come to a very exciting turn, where New Zealand will have to score 107 runs to win on the last day. By the end of the fourth day, the Kiwi team had played 4 balls, but their account could not be opened. Whereas Team India’s second innings was limited to 462 runs.
On the fourth day, Indian batsmen batted by staying at the crease. On one hand, Sarfaraz Khan scored 150 runs, while Rishabh Pant missed a century but his inning of 99 runs had put Team India in a strong position. But the last session of the fourth day was entirely in the name of New Zealand bowlers as India lost its last 7 wickets in just 54 runs.
Now New Zealand has to score 107 runs to win and if the Kiwi team is successful in doing so, then it will win a Test match on Indian soil after a long wait of 36 years. New Zealand last defeated India by 136 runs on its home ground in 1988. In those days, the captain of Team India was Dilip Vengsarkar.
Rain came on the fourth day
The fourth day’s play was declared ended prematurely. Earlier, the ground umpires stopped the game due to bad light and apart from captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli also clashed with the umpires. But after some time it started raining heavily, due to which stumps were declared on the fourth day. It rained heavily in Bengaluru late night and it continued to rain near Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday morning too.
80 percent rainfall is expected in Bengaluru on Sunday and 48 percent probability of storm was predicted. New Zealand is very close to victory in the Bengaluru Test and a big partnership can ensure their victory, but rain can become a villain in their victory.
