Final day of West Indies v India Test delayed by rain

SPORTS 24.07.2023

Steady rainfall has wiped out the prospect of any play before lunch on the final day of the second and final Test between the West Indies and India at Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad on Monday.

Text size:

West Indies are set to resume at 76 for two in their second innings having been set a victory target of 365.

However with the inclement weather forecasted to linger for much of the day, the window for an outright result may already be closing.

India lead the series 1-0 after a crushing innings and 141 runs triumph in the first Test in Dominica in three days.

However the two-time World Test Championship finalists would be favoured to complete a 2-0 sweep and will be hoping for at least a full session for their bowlers to claim the eight wickets needed for 12 more WTC points at the start of the new cycle.

West Indies' chances of getting the remaining 289 runs for a famous series-levelling victory were always unlikely and the longer play is delayed means that the remote prospect of overhauling the target will be effectively eliminated.
