The second Test between India and Bangladesh has been called off before a ball has been bowled on Day 2. On Saturday, Mominul Haque was on 40 while Mushfiqur Rahim was on 6. On the first day of the second Test, rain forced an early start. Day 1 saw two strikes by Akash Deep, bringing Bangladesh down to 29 for 2, before a small comeback by the visitors. The third wicket for Bangladesh was grabbed by Ravichandran Ashwin. When early stumps were called, the Najmul Hossain Shanto-led team was 107 for 3 after 35 overs.
As play hasn’t had a significant influence on the surface yet, India will be hoping that the rain and cloudy weather would allow their bowlers to get some out of the pitch. After winning the toss, Rohit Sharma decided to bowl first, marking the first time an Indian captain has made that choice at home since 2015. It was evident that India anticipated the pitch to add some spice.
Both sides will largely be hoping that the weather cooperates after losing 55 overs on the first day of play due to rain. Bangladesh avoided too much damage during the new ball’s play, and they will want their veterans, including Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, and Litton Das, to take advantage of the benign conditions before India’s spin pair begins to benefit from the black soil. Taijul Islam is an extra spinner for the Tigers going into this game, but India will be hoping to have their openers set with just two pacers in the opposition. The hitters weren’t overly threatened by the spin and irregular bounce that Ravichandran Ashwin provided, and Ravindra Jadeja wasn’t employed.
