Inexperienced Park nearly sure to obtain rain on Day 1 of IND vs BAN 2nd Check

As per the climate forecast, there are excessive possibilities of rain on Day 1 of the second India vs Bangladesh Check.

After more than 1,000 days, Test cricket returns to Kanpur as the Green Park Stadium is set to host the second Test between India and Bangladesh. While all the chatter has been about the stadium’s infrastructure and two-pitch formula, a huge uncertainty looms due to the rain threat in the city.

Rain to spoil Day 1 of IND vs BAN 2nd Test?

As per the weather.com, it is almost inevitable for rain to spoil the second Test. Especially after the first session, there is more than a 50 per cent chance of rainfall. Moreover, from 12 pm to 3 pm, there is as high as 80 per cent chance of precipitation. Alarmingly, groundsmen were even forced to cover the pitch as rain poured on the eve of the match day.

Rain Prediction in Kanpur – Day 1 (Sept 27) IND vs BAN 2nd Test

Time Rain Chances (%)
9 AM-10 AM 5%
10 AM-11 AM 5%
11 AM-12 PM 50%
12 PM-1 PM 80%
1 PM – 2 PM 80%
2 PM – 3 PM 80%
3 PM – 4 PM 70%
4 PM – 5 PM 60%

Early Stumps on Day 1?

Well, due to the overcast conditions in Kanpur on Friday, expect early stumps to get called. One of the main reasons for this anticipation is also the fact that the floodlights are not up to the mark at the Green Park Stadium. The problem with the floodlights at the Green Park Stadium is not new. In 2021, the IND vs NZ Test match had to be drawn because the lights were not bright enough. This raises big question marks on the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA). Given the predicted rain and cloudy weather for the upcoming India vs Bangladesh match, it’s unclear whether the floodlights will be sufficient for play.
