Tue Oct 01 08:36:46 UTC 2024: ## Rain Threatens to Wash Out Second India-Bangladesh Test in Kanpur
The second Test match between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur has been marred by rain, with the first day washed out and the second day completely abandoned due to persistent showers.
India, who won the first Test in Chennai by 280 runs, won the toss and elected to field first. Bangladesh reached 107/3 in 35 overs before play was halted due to bad light. However, rain then intervened, ending the first day’s play prematurely.
The second day was expected to bring a resumption of play, but the rain continued, forcing the umpires to cancel the entire day’s action without a ball bowled. With a 60% chance of rain predicted for the third day, the fate of the match hangs in the balance.
Mominul Haque (40) and Mushfiqur Rahim (6) were the unbeaten batsmen for Bangladesh when play was abandoned, while Akash Deep claimed two wickets for India.
The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a warning about the possibility of further rain in Kanpur, casting a shadow over the remaining days of the test match. Cricket enthusiasts will now anxiously await the weather forecast and hope for a resumption of play in the coming days.
