India vs South Africa 2nd Test, Day 4: Johannesburg weather forecast

The Indian team chased history in the second Test in Johannesburg. India has yet to win the Test Series in South Africa, and the Rangers are expected to achieve exciting results in the second test. South Africa ended the third day with 118/2 in 240 matches. The goal of the Indian Pacers is to take advantage of the deteriorating stadium conditions during the opening hours of the 4th day if the Rain God shows mercy to both teams.

The weather forecast for the 4th day does not look as promising as the previous three days, and it is expected that it will rain throughout the day. Although the first hour of the day may proceed smoothly from the perspective of the weather god, rain is expected to hinder most of the rest of the day.

This is a positive sign for the hosts, because they can choose a big wheel before the game of the day, which will suppress the apparent extra bounce in the opening time.

Earlier, India scored 266 points in the second game of Day 3 and set a goal of 240 points for South Africa to win in Johannesburg. After a brisk start, Aiden Markram lost to Shadur Thakur with a score of 31, and then Ravi Chandran Ashwin removed Keegan Peterson in the final stage of the day.

Although the South African team completed Day 3 with strong results, India will hope to draw inspiration from their last Test victory in Johannesburg three years ago when the team led by Virat Kohli made a comeback from a similar position.

Mumbai defeats Vidarbha by 169 runs to win the 42nd Ranji Trophy, capping an eight-year reign.

Mumbai overcame Vidarbha by 169 runs in the Wankhede Stadium final on Thursday to end an eight-year drought for a record-tying 42nd Ranji Trophy victory. Vidarbha put up a valiant fight in the second inning to chase a massive 538 runs, but on Day 5, they were eventually bowled out for 368.

Vidarbha put up a valiant battle on Day 5 of the final, with captain Akshay Wadkar and Harsh Dubey leading the team’s struggle against Ajinkya Rahane’s troops. Vidarbha scored 81 runs in the opening session without losing a wicket thanks to the two’s resolute stance at the crease, which frustrated the home team.

Mumbai defeated Vidarbha by a commanding 169 runs in the Ranji Trophy final, putting on an outstanding display.

Following lunch, Wadkar gave Vidarbha’s innings a boost with a magnificent century, showcasing his batting prowess. But when it was time to step it up, Tanush Kotian got his wicket by lbw-ing Wadkar.

Following the captain’s exit, Vidarbha’s batting lineup came under increasing pressure. Even Dubey, who showed fortitude by hitting a steely 65 off 128 deliveries, gave in to the pressure of the scoreboard.

Mumbai’s bowlers strengthened their hold on the game as the innings went on. Vidarbha’s bottom order offered little resistance as Mumbai quickly completed the innings in just the next 25 deliveries.

Ajinkya Rahane gave the ball to Dhawal Kulkarni in a crucial moment following the loss of the ninth wicket in his final domestic encounter. With just his third ball of the spell, Kulkarni quickly secured the vital wicket of Umesh Yadav, securing Mumbai’s 42nd championship.

Mumbai won their first Ranji Trophy since 2016. The domestic powerhouses increased their lead over other teams in the standings for the most trophies won in the first-class competition. With Karnataka coming in a distant second, no other team has won the Ranji Trophy more times than this one.
