IND vs SL: The first test match between India and Sri Lanka is being played at the Galle International Stadium. By the end of play on the fourth day of the match, Sri Lankan team has scored 84 runs for 4 wickets while chasing the target of 372 runs given by India. Now on the fifth and last day of the match, while Team India will have to take 6 wickets to win, host Sri Lanka will have to score 288 runs. Rain has disrupted all four days of this test match. In such a situation, now everyone's eyes are on the weather of the last day, because rain can become a villain for Team India in this match.

There is a high possibility of rain in the first session of the fifth day

The play of the fifth and last day of the Galle Test will start at 10 am Indian time, in which there is a possibility of rain in the first session. According to the report of Accuweather, there is a high possibility of rain in the first session. While the temperature in Galle will be around 30 degrees Celsius at 10 am, the probability of rain is up to 49 percent. At 11 am the probability of rain will increase to 52 percent. Talking about the afternoon, the chances of rain will increase further at 12 o'clock, that is, 58 to 60 percent rain is expected. In such a situation, there is every possibility that the game of the first session will be washed out due to rain, which is not at all good news for the Indian team.

Weather expected to remain clear in the second session of the fifth day

While there is a high possibility of rain in the first session of the fifth and last day of the Galle Test, the weather is expected to remain clear in the second session. The probability of rain in Galle at 1 pm is only 25 percent, while by 6 pm it will reduce to only 20 percent. The Indian team and fans will hope that rain does not disrupt the match in the second and third sessions.

It becomes very difficult to bat in Galle on the fifth day i.e. in the fourth innings. Here, due to the cracks on the pitch, the ball starts turning a lot and the spinners become completely dominant. In such a situation, the young Indian spinner Manav Suthar, who created a stir in this test, can prove to be an X-fractor. Ravindra Jadeja can also do wonders. Sri Lanka has scored 84 runs for 4 wickets in the fourth innings, out of which Manav Suthar has taken 2 wickets. Whereas fast bowler Mohammad Siraj and Prasidh Krishna have got 1-1 success.

There will be such a possibility of rain on the 5th day of the Galle Test match.
