Clear and Sunny Weather Predicted for Opening Day of ICC World Test Championship Final

The Kennington Oval in London is expected to witness clear and sunny weather on Wednesday, the opening day of the ICC World Test Championship final between India and Australia. According to the UK Met department forecast, it will change from overcast to sunny by late morning. In contrast to the first final of the WTC in 2021 between India and New Zealand in Southampton, where almost three days of play was washed out by persistent rain, rain is not expected to disrupt the game this time.

No Rain Threatens the Game, Except on Day Four and Day Five

The weather report predicts only light spells of rain on Day Four and Day Five, which are Saturday and Sunday, respectively. A reserve day has been scheduled for the final on Monday. Unlike its first game in 1880, the Oval has not hosted a Test in the month of June.
