Day 2 of India vs Bangladesh Test Washed Out Due to Rain in Kanpur
The second day of the ongoing Test match between India and Bangladesh at Kanpur turned out to be a complete washout as persistent rain prevented any play from taking place. Bangladesh, who were at 107/3 at stumps on Day 1, remained stuck at the same score as the weather showed no signs of improvement throughout the day.
Morning Drizzle Turns Into Heavy Rain
The day began with a light drizzle in the morning, raising hopes of a possible delayed start. However, the drizzle soon transformed into heavy rain, forcing the umpires to delay the inspection repeatedly. Despite a brief halt in the downpour around 11:15 am, the ground conditions, coupled with poor visibility, prevented any chance of resuming play.
Groundsmen’s Efforts Prove Futile
The groundsmen worked tirelessly with three super soppers on the field, but the efforts proved to be in vain. The match officials waited for the conditions to improve before officially calling off the day’s play at 2:15 pm.
Weather Forecast: More Rain Expected
With rain expected to continue on Sunday, the chances of a result in this Test seem slim. As per the weather forecast, Monday and Tuesday are likely to be sunny, but the loss of an entire day’s play may push the game towards a draw.
This rain-hit day left players and spectators alike frustrated, with hopes now pinned on the weather clearing up for some cricketing action in the remaining days of the Test.
