Weather Conditions Delay India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Day 2 in Kanpur

The India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test match, taking place at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur, has been significantly impacted by adverse weather conditions. According to reports, Day 2 of the Test match is likely to face delays due to persistent rain, which began affecting play on Day 1.

On the first day of play, which was heavily disrupted by rain, proceedings were halted at around 3 PM IST. Only 166 minutes of play was possible, with the visiting team scoring 107 runs for the loss of three wickets. The poor weather conditions led to an early end to the day’s play due to insufficient light.

Meteorological forecasts indicate continued wet weather in Kanpur. AccuWeather predicts rains until 11 AM IST on September 28, with chances of precipitation exceeding 50 percent during the morning hours. The forecast suggests marginal improvement in weather conditions post-11 AM, although cloud cover is expected to persist into the evening.

Another source, The Weather Channel, has offered a grimmer outlook, forecasting scattered thunderstorms with a 36 percent chance of rainfall until 10:30 AM IST. Further, it predicts thunderstorms to continue in the afternoon with a 68 percent probability, alongside a 50 percent chance of rain in the late afternoon.

The predictions imply a bleak likelihood of a full day of play on Day 2, casting doubt on fans’ hopes of witnessing India’s batting lineup in action. However, there’s still some optimism that conditions might improve by the afternoon, allowing for some play, provided the rain clouds dissipate and the ground drainage is sufficient.

The continuous updates on the weather situation have left cricket enthusiasts anxiously checking forecasts, as heavy rains threaten to wash out significant portions of this crucial Test match.
