Preview – IND vs BAN | 2nd Test Match India tour of Bangladesh 2022:
The second test match of the two match test series between India and Bangladesh will start tomorrow.
India would enter the contest as the likely winners after a commanding performance in the first test match. On the other hand, Bangladesh had a few positives as they batted well in the last innings of the first test. Ideally, they would love to build on that and put on a more impressive performance. If they manage to bat well, their spinners have the ability to put India under pressure.
ICC World Test Championship Scenarios:
As the business end of the ICC World Test Championship is approaching, everyone is looking at the likely scenarios. India and Australia are leading the ICC World Test Championship table. A victory in the second test match would consolidate India’s position at the second spot on the table. Australia, India, and South Africa are the contenders for the final berths.
India have a great chance to qualify. After this series, they have four home tests scheduled against Australia. Winning any 3 of the 5 remaining matches will take them to the final.
Pitch and Conditions IND vs BAN | 2nd Test Match 2022:
Bangladesh has generally produced spin-friendly pitches in the recent past due to the country’s lack of fast bowling depth. Moreover, the pitch at Dhaka has also generally favoured the spinners. A similar track is expected for the second test match. Thus, the ball will spin here from the first day.
Dry Weather conditions are expected, which will further assist the deterioration of the pitch. Thus, spinners will dominate the match for most part. Batting will be easiest on the first day.
