As India gears up to face New Zealand in the second Test in Pune, the weather forecast offers promising news for uninterrupted play. Unlike the rain-affected conditions in Bengaluru, where India suffered a major defeat, the weather in Pune is expected to be more favorable.
India, looking to bounce back after an eight-wicket loss in the first Test, can take some comfort in the forecast. The conditions are predicted to be a mix of sun and clouds, with temperatures around the low 30s (Celsius) and decreasing cloud cover as the day progresses. Importantly, there is little to no chance of rain, allowing the teams to focus fully on the game.
On Day 1 of the Test (Thursday), the skies are expected to be mostly clear with scattered clouds in the afternoon, creating ideal conditions for both batting and bowling. This will help India focus on improving their performance without weather disruptions affecting their rhythm.
India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, will be determined to lead a comeback after a challenging start in Bengaluru. With Washington Sundar added to the squad, India might benefit from his off-spin and lower-order batting on a pitch that could favor spinners.

Meanwhile, New Zealand will be without their star player Kane Williamson, who remains sidelined due to injury. However, the Kiwis have shown their depth and resilience, making the upcoming match a competitive contest.
With better weather and both teams aiming for a win, the second Test promises an intense battle in Pune.
