The two-Test series between India and South Africa begins on December 26. This will be the first occasion after the ODI World Cup final, when all the star players of Team India will take to the field. The Indian team, led by captain Rohit Sharma, will try to create history here, but rain may spoil the mission.
The first match of the series is scheduled to be played at Centurion, where rain is expected on Tuesday. According to the weather report, there is a 90 percent chance of rain on the first day of the Test match. Team India's practice session was also canceled on Monday due to rain, so the same is likely to happen during the Test match.
According to accuweather.com, temperatures in Centurion on Tuesday could be in the low 20s and partly cloudy, with a 90 percent chance of rain and a 44 percent chance of thunderstorms. Not only the first day of the Test match but also the second day can be ruined due to rain.
Curator Brian Bloy, who prepared the pitch for this match, says that the temperature may remain very low for the first two days, besides there is a possibility of rain. If this happens, it will be difficult to bat in the first two days and the fast bowlers may get help. It is clear that if the curator's words prove to be true, then the Indian batsmen may face difficulty here as well and the toss may also matter.
Let us tell you that the first match of the two-Test series between India and South Africa is starting from December 26 at Centurion. According to Indian time, this match will start at 1.30 pm, that is, the toss will be at 1 pm. The first day's play will end around 9 pm.
