There’s an atmosphere of joy in Guwahati right now. A Test match is going to be held there for the first time. The second match of the ongoing series between India and South Africa is to be played there. Both teams have reached there and started their preparations. The match is to be played on November 22nd. But keep in mind that the second match will start early in the morning. So if you’re expecting a late match, be sure to miss it. Note down the exact time of the match now so you don’t face any problems.
India and South Africa will face off in Guwahati on November 22nd. While many international matches have been played here, this is the first time it will host a Test match. The sun sets early in Guwahati, so the match will start early in the morning. Previously, when the Test was held in Kolkata, the toss took place at 9 a.m., and then half an hour earlier, at 9 p.m. This will not be the case in Guwahati.
The first ball will be bowled at 9 am sharp in Guwahati
In Guwahati, the captains of both teams will arrive on the field at 8:30 AM, and this will be the time for the toss. Half an hour later, at 9 AM, the first ball will be bowled. It’s also worth noting that in Test cricket, you’ve always noticed that there’s a lunch break first, followed by a tea break in the evening. But in Guwahati, it will be the opposite. A tea break will be taken first, followed by a lunch break. The special thing is that this is going to happen for the first time in the history of Test cricket. This means that tradition is changing in Guwahati, and this city is going to be a witness to it.
The day’s play will end early in the evening
The match will begin at 9 am and end between 4 and 4:30 pm. The match will begin on Saturday. The first Test didn’t even last three full days. Now we’ll have to see what kind of pitch is prepared in Guwahati. The match is expected to be exciting and last five days, with the best team winning. Amidst all this, be especially mindful of the match timings, or you might miss your match.
