India vs Bangladesh 2024, 2nd Test: Rain Destroys the Game Of Day 2 At Kanpur
Heavy rain and persistent bad weather forced the abandonment of Day 2 in the ongoing second Test match between India and Bangladesh Test Series 2024 at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. The weather disruption has halted the momentum of what promised to be an exciting contest, with India holding a 1-0 lead in the two-match Test series.
India, eager to seal a series victory, will now look to Day 3 for an opportunity to take control of the match. Bangladesh, trailing in the series, had hoped to mount a comeback, but the rain delay adds pressure to their efforts as time slips away.

After winning the toss, India opted to bowl first in overcast conditions, taking full advantage of the swinging ball. Bangladesh’s openers faced a tough time at the crease, with Zakir Hasan struggling to get off the mark, eventually falling to Akash Deep after a 24-ball duck.
Shadman Islam, despite looking more composed, managed 24 runs before Akash trapped him LBW, delivering a sharp and disciplined spell. Mominul and skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto (31) then steadied the innings, putting together a 51-run partnership for the third wicket.
Ravichandran Ashwin finally broke the stand, dismissing Shanto for 31, leaving Bangladesh at 107/3. Persistent rain soon followed, and match officials called stumps early on Day 1.
