Rain is expected to play a major part on the first day of the second Test of the two-match series against Bangladesh, which will be played at Green Park in Kanpur.
According to predictions, September 27 is expected to see rain and thundershowers during the scheduled time of play on Friday.
Rain Expected on Day 1, Day 3
The muggy weather will pose a huge challenge for the players. The humidity has been very high in the city in the last few days. The Indian team made Thursday’s practice optional, saying it needs to save players from searing heat.
