The first day’s play of the second Test between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur was abandoned due to persistent rain. The match was scheduled to start at 10:30 AM IST, but heavy showers delayed the toss and ultimately led to the cancellation of play after just nine overs were bowled. Bangladesh had scored 107 runs for the loss of three wickets before rain interrupted.
The weather forecast indicated continued rain for the first three days, raising concerns about the match’s progress. Both teams are eager to resume play, with India aiming for a series sweep after their victory in the first Test. The conditions at Green Park Stadium have been challenging, with a wet outfield impacting preparations and player warm-ups.
