As anticipation grows for the India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test, the focus shifts to the weather conditions in Kanpur on September 27. The match is set to take place at Green Park Stadium, following India's commanding victory in the first Test at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The Indian team approaches this game with a strong sense of confidence, while Shakib Al Hasan has garnered attention by announcing that this may be his final Test appearance, confirming he has already played his last T20I.
However, the weather is a significant concern for today's Test. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for the city due to anticipated rainfall, raising fears that the weather may disrupt the opening day of the IND vs BAN match.
Accuweather forecasts indicate that the first day will be "cloudy with periods of rain and thunderstorms," with a precipitation probability of 96%. Another weather site suggests that rain and thunderstorms are likely to begin after 11:15 AM, with the highest chance of rain expected in the afternoon.
While these forecasts may threaten the likelihood of uninterrupted play, there is still hope for sufficient playing time to ensure an exciting conclusion to the second Test.
