Green Park Stadium Pitch Report

The Green Park Stadium pitch in Kanpur is known to provide a good contest between bat and ball. As seen in past matches, the surface generally favors the batsmen in the first couple of days, allowing for big runs. However, from Day 3 onwards, the pitch begins to deteriorate, making it a paradise for spinners. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja will likely enjoy the conditions later in the match, while Bangladesh’s spinners like Mehidy Hasan Miraz will also have their opportunities.

With spin becoming more prominent later in the match, teams winning the toss will likely choose to bat first to avoid batting in deteriorating conditions.

Kanpur Weather Report

The weather in Kanpur is expected to remain hot and dry throughout the 2nd Test match between India and Bangladesh. Temperatures are forecasted to hover around 32-35°C, with no significant chances of rain. The humidity levels will be moderate, ensuring uninterrupted play across all five days of the match. The dry weather is expected to aid spin bowling as the match progresses.

 

India Team News 

India is riding high after a crushing victory in the first Test, where they overpowered Bangladesh by 280 runs. With a deep bench in both batting and bowling, India is the clear favorite to clinch the series. Ravichandran Ashwin, who played a crucial role with both bat and ball, alongside Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja, will be pivotal.

India posted a mammoth 376 in the first innings of the previous match, powered by Ashwin’s stunning century (113 off 133 balls) and Jadeja’s 86 off 124. With Shubman Gill delivering 119 in the second innings, India dominated throughout the match. Jasprit Bumrah led the pace attack, supported by Mohammed Siraj, while Ashwin's spin proved lethal.

India is expected to maintain its winning combination, counting on its world-class spinners and solid batting order to challenge Bangladesh once again.

Bangladesh will be desperate to bounce back after their dismal performance in the first Test. Nazmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim are expected to shoulder the batting responsibility. In the first match, Bangladesh was bowled out for 149 in the first innings, with Shanto’s 82 being the only significant score in their second innings.

Despite the challenge, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Hasan Mahmud will play critical roles as they try to take advantage of a turning pitch to test India’s batsmen. Bangladesh will also need a better batting display from their top order, with Shakib Al Hasan and Litton Das being key figures.

Match Prediction

Heading into the 2nd Test with the momentum of a 280-run win, India remains the firm favorite. Their spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, alongside the in-form Shubman Gill and Jasprit Bumrah, gives them a clear advantage on a turning pitch at Green Park. Although Bangladesh will rely on their spinners, the combination of India’s strong batting lineup and superior bowling depth makes them the likely winners of the Bangladesh Tour of India 2024 2nd Test.
