The weather wreaked havoc on the second Test between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur. Persistent rain forced the umpires to abandon play on Day 1, allowing only 35 overs of cricket. India, batting first, made a cautious start, but Bangladesh’s top order was shaky.
India’s Bowlers Strike Early
Akash Deep, India’s young pacer, made the most of the early morning swing, dismissing two Bangladesh batters. However, Mohammed Siraj struggled to find his rhythm and control, conceding runs without taking wickets.
Ravichandran Ashwin’s Impact
Ravichandran Ashwin continued his impressive form, trapping Najmul Hossain Shanto LBW. Despite the rain interruptions, Bangladesh’s Mominul Haque showed resilience and determination.
Weather Forecast Spells Trouble
With more rain predicted for the next few days, the Test match’s outcome is uncertain. The fans and teams alike are hoping for clearer skies to allow for more cricket.
