As can be seen from the weather forecast, as per Accuweather, October 19 is the only day with less than 30% chance of rain. Though the M Chinnaswamy Stadium's drainage system is excellent, India and New Zealand would still need some help from the weather gods in order to get a result out of the series opener. From the weather situation in the city, it is clear that there are high chances of the match getting abandoned due to rain. A full 5-day even looks highly unlikely. Even getting a result out form the contest looks tough at the moment. India head coach Gautam Gambhir, addressing the press conference on Monday, had shared a glimpse of his plans for the team, going into the series. Speaking of the team composition, Gambhir said: "It (combination) depends on conditions, wicket and opposition. The best part about this dressing room is that we've got so many high-quality players and we can select any of them. We know they can do the job for us. That is what is called the depth." "We'll have a look at the wicket tomorrow. We'll have a chat and see what is the best combination to do the job at the Chinnaswamy Stadium," he added.
