As the match progresses to the crucial fourth day, speculations arise about the weather’s role in determining the outcome. The latest update from Weather.com suggests a 20% chance of rain on the fourth day, offering a glimmer of hope for uninterrupted play. Looking ahead to the fifth day, the forecast improves with only a 10% chance of rain, promising a thrilling conclusion to the match.

Meanwhile, discussions surrounding the drainage facilities at Greenpark intensify as ground crews strive to prepare the field despite minimal rainfall. With a history of hosting 40 international matches, including Tests, ODIs, and T20s, Green Park holds significance in cricketing history. Notably, the last Test held here concluded in a draw, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of the game.

In the current match, Indian captain Rohit Sharma’s decision to invite Bangladesh to bat first set the stage for an intriguing contest. After 35 overs, Bangladesh stands at 107/3, with Mushfiqur Rahim and Mominul Haque leading the charge. The bowling prowess of Akash Deep and Ravichandran Ashwin showcased early in the game adds to the excitement for fans eagerly awaiting a competitive clash.

If the match ends in a draw, India’s prospects in the World Test Championship hang in the balance. With calculations revealing potential percentage point deductions, the team faces a crucial phase requiring victories in upcoming Tests against formidable opponents. As permutations unfold, the race to secure a spot in the final intensifies, with strategic outcomes shaping India’s path in the championship.

The first day also got off to a late start due to earlier rain. This time the Indian captain Rohit Sharma who won the toss chose to bowl. With this, Bangladesh started the innings and scored 107 runs losing 3 wickets in 35 overs. At this point the match was stopped as Karmoda collapsed. Now the second day’s play was completely rained out.

Only three days left. But according to the weather department report, there will be rain on Sunday as well, so the match on the 3rd day is doubtful. Chances of getting results on the fourth and fifth days are very less. So the 2nd Test match is likely to end in a draw. If the Kanpur Test match ends in a draw, Team India will clinch the series. Because in the first test match held at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Team India won by 280 runs. Thus, despite the second Test match being a draw, the Indian team will take the series 1-0.

If the second Test against Bangladesh ends in a draw, India’s WTC final chances will become complicated. So far in this WTC, Team India has played 10 matches and is leading with 71.67 points. If India clean sweeps the Test series against Bangladesh 2-0, they will clinch a berth in the WTC final even if they win three of the remaining 8 matches. If the match against Bangladesh is a draw, then India will get the final berth only if they win five of the remaining eight matches.

As part of this WTC, Team India will play a three-Test series against New Zealand at home, followed by the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (five Tests) on Australian soil. Winning a series against these strong teams is not going to be easy. In addition, the Aussies are burning with revenge. So the cricket fans are hoping that Team India will fight hard and reach the WTC final without taking the upcoming matches lightly.
