The highly anticipated second Test between India and Bangladesh at Green Park Stadium, Kanpur, has been severely disrupted by the unpredictable weather. Cricket fans have been left frustrated as rain has played spoilsport, overshadowing the match and limiting play. With only 35 overs completed on the opening day, the match has faced significant delays. The weather remains a key factor as the game enters Day 3, and all eyes are on whether the rain will continue to hamper proceedings.

The opening day saw Bangladesh reach 107 for 3 after just 35 overs, before the rain arrived. Day 2, however, was a complete washout, with no play possible. Persistent rain and wet conditions ensured the players spent the entire day in their hotel, with play officially abandoned by 2:15 PM. Disappointingly, not a single ball was bowled, leaving spectators and players anxiously awaiting a change in fortunes on Day 3.
According to Accuweather.com, the weather forecast for Day 3 in Kanpur doesn’t inspire much optimism. Light rain is expected in the morning, with a 60% chance of showers. These early morning rains could last up to 90 minutes, further delaying the start of play. The cloud cover is expected to remain dense throughout the day, although there may be a slight improvement in conditions as the afternoon progresses. The hope is that this reduction in rain will allow some play to resume, but whether that happens remains uncertain.

As the match progresses into Day 3, the prospect of an outright result seems bleak. While Sunday may still witness some rain interruptions, the weather outlook for Monday and Tuesday offers a glimmer of hope. Both days are expected to be sunny and warm, providing ideal conditions for cricket. However, the significant time already lost due to rain has led many to predict that the match is headed towards an inevitable draw unless there is an unexpected turnaround in both the weather and play.
The outfield in Kanpur has been particularly difficult to manage due to the heavy rains. On Day 2, the ground staff worked tirelessly, deploying three super soppers in an attempt to make the pitch playable. Despite their efforts, poor visibility and the persistent wet conditions led to the abandonment of play. While the rain temporarily stopped in the late morning, it wasn’t enough to improve the situation on the ground. By early afternoon, the decision was made to call off the day’s proceedings entirely.

The looming rain threat over Kanpur has left the Test hanging in the balance, with fans hoping for a clear sky to bring some much-needed action back to the field.
