WTC Final, Southampton weather today: Rain & bad-light set to impact India vs New Zealand Day 3

As per the Southampton weather forecast, there’s a 50% chance of rain in the morning on Sunday, meaning the WTC final Day 3 start could be delayed. Also, there is a chance of rain in the afternoon and even bad light can play a spoilsport.

The much-awaited World Test Championship (WTC) final finally began as the sun came out on Saturday (June 19). New Zealand won the toss and opted to bowl first looking to make the most of the overcast conditions. But dashing Kane Williamson’s hopes were India openers – Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill – who ensured India did not lose a wicket in the first hour. Notably, there were a couple of stoppages on Day 2, due to rain and bad light. At the end of the day, India was 146 for three with skipper Virat Kohli on 44*, while Ajinkya Rahane was unbeaten on 29. It was competitive as long as it lasted, and finally, the players had to come off the field due to bad light. 64.4 overs were bowled on Day 2 of the historic Test. Eyes would once again be on the weather for Day 3 of the WTC final. The news is sad as there are forecasts of showers on Sunday. The temperature will remain around the 20-degree-mark and the humidity would be around 70. Fans would hope and pray that the rain stays away and the epic battle continues. But, as per the Southampton weather forecast, there’s a 50% chance of rain in the morning on Sunday, meaning the Day 3 start could be delayed. Also, there is a chance of rain in the afternoon and even bad light can play a spoilsport.
