IND vs AUS, WTC Final: What happens if rain makes an appearance on Day 5? Check weather forecast

The India vs Australia World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 final is expected to conclude today at London's The Oval, bringing the tournament to a formal close. On the fifth day, though, there's a chance of a spell of intense rain, which might force a postponement of the competition.

On Day 5 of the WTC final, the Indian team needs 280 runs, while Australia has to take 7 wickets to determine who will win the illustrious trophy and title. 

Weather report:

The last day of the game is set to be disrupted by heavy rain and thunderstorms, according to the most recent weather forecast in London. Accuweather has forecast the same thing.

On Sunday, there is a 90% chance of rain, while there is a 36% chance of a thunderstorm at the Kennington Oval, according to Accuweather. Due to the predicted rain in London, the city has also been placed on yellow alert.

What will happen if it rains in the WTC final?

India vs Australia is likely to be moved to the Reserve Day if Day 5 of the WTC final match is affected by the weather. If the weather or other factors prevent the two teams from playing, the Reserve Day will still be held.

Additionally, it's possible that the Reserve Day won't be used and that the duration of India vs Australia would be extended by the hours that the game was impeded by rain. Both teams will only play for a short period of time on Day 6 to make up for lost time on Day 5 if the game is moved to Reserve Day.
