The Story in Brief
India’s first Test against Sri Lanka is scheduled to begin in Galle on August 15, with rain threatening to disrupt the opening match. NDTV Sports reports that wet weather could play a major part in the contest, though it provides no forecast details or expected number of lost sessions.
NDTV Profit’s match guide covers the start date, television and online viewing information, weather, probable XIs and squads. The two teams will meet in Galle for the first Test of the series. Fans will need to check the broadcaster’s listings for the confirmed live coverage details.
The Indian Opinion
The lazy narrative would be to treat rain as an automatic excuse for a poor result, while another would be to declare the match already decided by the forecast. Neither follows from the available information. Weather may interrupt play, but the result will still depend on how many overs are completed and how both sides adapt. The first session and the final number of lost overs will be the clearest test.
