There is a considerable likelihood of rain on the third day of the first Test match between India and Sri Lanka in Galle. It will rain for 83 percent of the duration of the day on Monday. After rain forced the play to be stopped on the second day on Sunday, today may also be an intermittent day. By the time the play ended on the second day, India had scored 460 runs with 9 wickets down. The fantastic performance of Devdutt Padikkal in the first innings with his 167 runs helped set up a huge score which has put India in a good position so far in the game. On the third day, maybe Shubman Gill may declare the innings at this score and request Sri Lanka to bat straightaway.
According to AccuWeather, there is a chance of very heavy rain in Galle today, Monday. Rain has been predicted for all three sessions. The start of the morning session is scheduled to be held at 10 am with a 51 percent chance of rain which will be reduced slightly to 47 percent by 11 am. The rain may also threaten the period around noon with a 44 percent chance in the afternoon and 48 percent by 1 pm.
The highest chance of rain is around 52 percent at 2 pm, and this will decrease slightly in the final session. At 3 pm, it may reach 45 percent and by 5 pm, it may drop to 34 percent. The weather in Galle is unpredictable, so the ground staff at the Galle International Stadium may have to work hard once again.
India will enter the third day today at 460/9. India dominated the first two days for the most part. Devdutt Padikkal performed brilliantly, scoring 167 to anchor India's innings and cement his place at No. 3 for the long term. His innings proved particularly valuable, as the Indian team's run rate remained steady despite rain interruptions. Now, with just one wicket remaining, India can easily put Sri Lanka in to bat on the third day.
