IND vs NZ: ¿A qué hora comienza el primer partido de prueba entre India y Nueva Zelanda?

After a short break, the Indian Test team is back, and this time to take on New Zealand in a three-Test match series. India, who cleared Bangladesh convincingly by winning two Test games, then thumped the Bangladesh Tigers in the T20I series. Now, once again, all eyes are on the whites, and looking at the upcoming tight schedule, there are many Tests coming for India that will test their temperament and game in this longer format. After this three-match series, they will go to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which is surely at the pinnacle of Indian cricket. The first Test match is going to start at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. See the session timings and all the crucial details.

What time Ind vs Nz 1st Test match starts

For cricket fans, there is bad news coming from Bengaluru, as Session 1 has been washed out due to continuous rain. The match was set to start at 9:30 AM and run until 11:30 AM for the first session, followed by the second session from 12:10 PM to 2:10 PM. After a 20-minute tea break, the next session was scheduled from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM. However, things have now changed, as the rain gods are not giving hope for the game. Around the second session, the chances of rain are more than 92 percent, but by 3:30 PM, we can expect some action, as the expected rain chances will drop to 20%. Also, M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has a SubAir subsurface aeration and vacuum-powered drainage system, which dries the surface much faster and also dries the outfield areas more quickly, giving us more hope to see Day 1 of the game.
