Play for Day 3 has been called off [Source: @baua_bhaiya_002/X.com]
The third day of the second Test match between India and Bangladesh at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur has been abandoned without a single ball being bowled due to a wet outfield. Despite the dedicated efforts of the ground staff, adverse weather conditions rendered the pitch unplayable. The day began with a wet outfield, even though the skies were clear; the damage had already been done.
The drainage system at Green Park Stadium has been problematic, making it difficult for the ground staff to prepare the pitch for play amid incessant rain in Kanpur. In an attempt to restore the playing surface, the ground staff worked tirelessly with super-soppers, but their efforts proved futile.
The wet outfield, combined with persistent rain and poor light on the first two days, meant that conditions remained unsuitable for play. As patches of moisture stubbornly clung to the field, hopes for a third day of action rapidly diminished.
Overview Of 2nd Test Match Between India And Bangladesh So Far
The match had already been challenging for both teams, with rain predicted throughout the five days. Indian captain Rohit Sharma's decision to field first after winning the toss on Day 1 had initially paid off, as bowler Akash Deep quickly dismissed both Bangladeshi openers. Mominul Haque and skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto had managed to stabilize the innings with a 51-run partnership for the third wicket, but that momentum was halted by the weather.
