Fans who were eagerly waiting to witness the finals of the World Test Championship, got extremely disappointment after rain interrupted and washed out the first session of the match which was supposed to take place between India and New zealand. Reports suggested that the rain is set to play a spoil sport on all the five days of the Test match at the Ages Bowl in Southampton and the reserve day hasn’t been spared as well. The toss which was scheduled at 2 : 30 PM IST didn’t take place and it was officially announced that the first session of day 1 got cancelled.

People got extremely upset towards International Cricket Council and blaming the body for the lack of research on the weather of the venue which is going to host one of the historic matches in history. “Good morning from Southampton. We are just over an hour away from the scheduled start of play but It continues to drizzle here. The match officials are on the field now” wrote BCCI by sharing the pictures of the pitch and went on to update “Unfortunately there will be no play in the first session on Day 1 of the ICC World Test Championship final. #WTC21”

“What a waste @ICC & @BCCI Can’t even plan such an important final in a better way. #EnglishWeather sucks for Cricket. All the mood of the final is gone to ashes. We could have played in #Australia or #SouthAfrica. Better watch EURO2020“ a fan wrote out of frustration whereas another one said “So England has 2 weeks of heat wave and nz play eng. yet the biggest test match ever is going to be played in the rain. To all those living in India, it’s gonna rain every day here in England. Don’t take time off work to watch if u were planning on. This will be drawn”

The ICC should've known the English condition and after what happened in the first stage of 2019 World Cup, there wasn't any necessity to go with England again for WTC final. It just irritates everyone when you wait for months and then rain spoils the event.
