India and England have an old rivalry when it comes to Test matches. The two cricketing giants have clashed in 135 cricket matches. Of these, England won 51, India won 34, and there was a draw in 50 encounters.
Dharamshala is experiencing continuous showers, snowfall, and a drop in temperature. The expected outcome of India's victory in the Test match depends on the weather conditions on Thursday.
According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the temperature may dip as low as six degrees Celsius on Thursday, the opening day of the Test match.
The IMD has also predicted light showers for the first two days of the match. In contrast, AccuWeather has forecasted thundershowers in the afternoon of Thursday, with an 82 per cent chance of rain.
Additionally, the incoming sleet could potentially disrupt the last Test of the series. Although days two, three, and four will likely have sunshine, there are chances of rain returning on March 11.
Due to the unpredictable rain, curators have not been able to work on the pitch at HPCA, Dharamshala. Generally, the pitch at the HPCA is batting-friendly. However, it also produces good bounce and carry, which assists the fast bowlers. In the previous match at Dharamshala, India defeated Australia by chasing down 106 in the fourth innings.
