IND vs BAN: Kanpur weather forecast for day 2 of 2nd test (28 September)

Only 35 overs were possible on day 1 of the 2nd IND vs BAN test in Kanpur.

The ongoing IND vs BAN 2nd test in Kanpur’s Green Park stadium has been significantly affected by rain. On day 1 (27 September) of the test, the start of the match was delayed by one hour due to a wet outfield caused by the overnight rain.

Then, a drizzle arrived in the last over of the first session and got a bit heavy as the players started to walk off for lunch.

The second session started with a 15-minute delay. However, nine overs into the second session, the umpires asked the players to walk off due to bad light. Soon, it started raining again and the umpires called stumps before even 3 pm IST. Only 35 overs of play was possible on day 1 of the Kanpur test.

Bangladesh are 107/3 after the end of play on day 1. The start of day 2 has also been delayed by at least 90 minutes due to rain and the situation looks grim for Saturday as well.

IND vs BAN: Kanpur weather forecast for day 2 of 2nd test (28 September)

On day 2 of the IND vs BAN Kanpur test, which is September 28, rain is predicted till 11 AM. And while rain is not forecasted until evening again, the sky will remain cloudy, which means bad light could force a halt in play, if it begins in the first place.

The forecast for September 29 is similar to September 28: rain in the morning and then cloudy weather.

The forecast for the last two days of this test, though, is promising, with the clouds to make way for some sunshine. Still, getting a result on a low and slow surface at Green Park while time being lost to the weather would be tough for both teams.

On day 1, Akash Deep took two wickets and R Ashwin took one scalp. For Bangladesh, three batters got starts but two of them are back in the dressing room.
