A mixed Day 4 for both India and New Zealand in the first Test match at Bengaluru saw the Day end with New Zealand considerably ahead in the game. They need only 107 runs to win on Day 5. India started the day on a positive note with Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Pant stitching a big partnership. They constantly kept closing the lead of New Zealand and before Sarfaraz was finally dismissed on 150, India looked well on course to win the Test match from here. Rishabh Pant unfortunately got dismissed on 99 and India entered a collapse and couldn't get much lead over New Zealand. William O'Rourke and Matt Henry shared three wickets each.  Will It Rain in Bengaluru on October 20 During IND vs NZ 1st Test 2024 Day 5? Check Live Weather Forecast.
