While on the other hand, the Kiwis, will have a point to prove on these Asian surfaces, as they enter the three-match Test series, after suffering a 2-0 whitewash at the hands of Sri Lanka.

However, with the monsoon season around, will the weather gods be kind enough or will they play spoilsport in Bengaluru for the 1st IND vs NZ Test?

As per AccuWeather, the probability of precipitation and probability of thunderstorms on Day 1 of the Test is 41% and 25%, respectively.

However, rain is predicted on all five days of the Test, with the forecast currently not looking very promising.

M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru Pitch Report

With the weather very much likely to play spoilsport throughout the game, the surface at the M Chinnaswamy could end-up producing a seam-friendly deck with not much sunshine to dry it out.

Both the teams could very much go with three seamers - with the first two days of the Test expected to see rain.
