India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Begins September 27

The second Test between India and Bangladesh is set to commence on Friday, September 27, 2024, at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur, with India leading the two-match series 1-0 after a significant 280-run victory in the first Test. India aims to solidify their top position in the ICC World Test Championship standings, while Bangladesh seeks to improve their current sixth-place position. The Kanpur pitch is expected to favor spinners, which may influence team selections, possibly leading India to field three spinners as conditions deteriorate. Key Indian players include Ravichandran Ashwin, who excelled in the first Test, while Bangladesh's Hasan Mahmud will look to replicate his successful bowling performance. The match is crucial for both teams, with India targeting a clean sweep and Bangladesh hoping for a comeback to avoid a series defeat. Rain is forecasted, with a 72-80% chance of interference on match day, potentially impacting play.
