India's bowling attack is ready to take on New Zealand on Day 5 of the 1st Test at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday, October 20. (Day 5 Live Blog | More Cricket News)
The Day 4 saw Sarfaraz Khan score his maiden Test century, but India's batting collapse followed, leaving them needing 10 wickets for a win, while New Zealand are just 107 runs away.
Although the situation seems to be totally in favor of BlackCaps, India's strong bowling lineup is definitely not out of the game yet. Rain is also always knocking at the door, as witnessed a day before, and weather can also play its role.
Day five is set to begin soon, and India will look to take advantage of the dangerous bowling unit.
On Day 4, Sarfaraz Khan struck a majestic 150 while Rishabh Pant fell just short of a century with a brisk 99, as India were bowled out for 462 in their second innings. New Zealand's bowlers made good use of the new ball, troubling India's batters and tightening the contest.
However, with Bangalore's weather being notoriously unpredictable, it’s uncertain whether it will play spoilsport, As the first day of the Test match was washed out.
The second day saw India losing their all wickets on just 46 runs. It is India's lowest team total in India. Day 3 and 4 showed a great turnaround. Giving hope for day 5.
