IND vs NZ | The final match of the World Test Championship (WTC) between India and New Zealand has reached an exciting juncture at this time, where the result of the match can go in the favor of either team. If seen, the Kiwi team looks stronger than India, but the bowling of the world's number two team also cannot be taken lightly. The first session of the fourth day of the match is going to prove to be very important for both the teams. However, on the fourth day of the match, the rain can spoil the hopes of the fans hoping for the best game.

According to weather reports, there is a possibility of rain throughout the day in Southampton on Monday. Since the sun is not going to come out, even if the rain stops midway, the chances of a game happening are slim. On the first day of the final match, it was observed that the Southampton ground takes longer to dry. Speculations are rife that play on the fourth day of the WTC Finals is almost certain to be ruined due to rain and bad weather.
