The ongoing second Test between India and Bangladesh at Green Park, Kanpur, has been heavily impacted by poor weather, much to the disappointment of cricket fans. Incessant rain and a wet outfield allowed only 35 overs on the opening day, with play being washed out entirely for the next five consecutive sessions.
Day two saw no action, as persistent rain prevented a single ball from being bowled. In fact, the players headed back to their team hotel much before the officials declared the day’s play officially abandoned on Saturday.

As the match moves into its third day, hopes of resuming play are tempered by an unfavourable weather forecast. According to Accuweather.com, light rain is expected in the morning, with overcast conditions persisting throughout the day. There is a 60% chance of morning showers, likely to last about 90 minutes, while the cloud cover will remain dense.
Conditions may improve slightly in the afternoon, with the likelihood of rain diminishing and a reduction in cloud cover. However, the weather has already had a significant impact on the match.
While Sunday may still see some rain, Monday and Tuesday are expected to be sunny and warm. Given the extensive weather delays, the match appears to be heading for a draw unless conditions improve significantly.
On day two, a morning drizzle quickly turned into heavy rain, making any prospects of play impossible. Ground staff deployed three super soppers around 11:15 AM when the rain temporarily stopped, but poor visibility and unfavourable conditions persisted. Eventually, the day’s play was called off at 2:15 PM.
At the end of the rain-affected first day, Bangladesh was 107 for 3 after just 35 overs of play.
