WTC Final 2023: IND vs AUS Weather Forecast for Day 5 at Kennington Oval, London

The final day of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2021-23 summit clash is all set to be played on Sunday, June 11, at the Kennington Oval in London, which could potentially determine the winner of the ICC red-ball tournament. 

Notably, Rohit Sharma-led team India require a humongous 280 runs on Day 5 in their quest to attain glory in their second consecutive WTC final. However, having lost three wickets at the close of Day 4, the Indian side will need to put in the hard yards, keep their wickets and remain steady in the crucial clash to have some hopes of clinching the coveted mace.

While the fans and the players of both teams are gearing up for a historic final day, weather at the venue in London could be a potential threat. On that note, we take a look at the weather forecast for Day 5 of the WTC final.
