Test Championship Final (Day-1)

Southampton 18-06-2021

India vs New Zealand: Play was called off on Day 1 due to rain without a ball being bowled in Southampton.

The opening day of the WTC Final was called off because of inclement weather without a single ball being bowled. 
The toss was delayed as rain held firm since the beginning, with the players turning into spectators till late in the evening. 
As the day progressed, rain stopped and players stepped out to take a stroll and observe the situation, which didn’t improve much.
Finally, BCCI confirmed via tweet that Day 1 would be called off. BlackCaps revealed that 98 overs would be bowled on Day 2.
Hopefully we’ll have some cricket under our belt.
