Can rain hamper the second test of India-South Africa?
A two-Test series is going on between India and South Africa. Whose second and last match will be played from January 3. Both the teams will clash at Newlands, Cape Town. The record of the Indian team in this field is very newsworthy.
Rain can become a hindrance in IND vs SA
Team India had to face Har in four out of six matches. So there were two matches which were drawn. South Africa has a 1-0 lead in the two-match Test series. If Team India wins this second match then the series will be drawn 1-1. But the series does not seem to be a draw. In fact, it may rain for two days in Cape Town.
India did not win a single test series in South Africa
India has not been able to win a single Test series in South Africa. The team has managed to draw only once. Also, the team has not won even once in Cape Town. In such a situation, drawing the series will be a tough challenge for Rohit’s team. To win the second test, all the players of the team will have to perform well.
Cape Town weather (IND vs SA Weather)
The first Test was played in Centurion. There too rain had spoiled the match. In such a situation, there is a possibility of rain in the second match also. There is no possibility of rain for the first three days.
But rain in the last two days can spoil the match. If reports are to be believed, there is a 64 percent chance of rain on January 6, i.e. the fourth day of the Test match. So there is a 55 percent chance on the fifth day of the match.
It is not easy to bat in Cape Town
India and South Africa started playing Test series from 1992. Test matches were played at Newlands Stadium six times in 31 years. But the Indian team did not win even once. The performance of Indian batsmen has not been good in this stadium. The highest score made by the team was 223 runs. It is not easy for the batsmen to bat here.
