Hosts India will square off with Bangladesh in the second and final Test of the two-match series at Green Park, Kanpur. The match is scheduled to begin at 9:30 am IST on Friday, September 27.
India’s comprehensive victory in the first Test against Bangladesh in Chennai showcased their dominance in Test cricket. Despite facing early pressure from the Bangladesh pace attack, India’s all-round performance, led by Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, proved too much for the visitors.
The 280-run win at Chepauk extended India’s unbeaten home Test record to 18 series, solidifying their status as the world’s leading Test team. Bangladesh, on the other hand, struggled to cope with India’s high-quality bowling attack and will likely need to make changes to their playing eleven for the upcoming match.
