IND vs BAN 2nd Test Kanpur Rain Chances: The second and last Test match of the series will be played between India and Bangladesh from August 27 in Kanpur. If reports are to be believed, the first 3 days of the Test match may be washed away by rain, so there are high chances of the match being cancelled. Team India will win the series 1-0 even after the Kanpur Test is cancelled, but in terms of the World Test Championship, the cancellation of this match may prove to be very costly for the Indian team.
India still has 9 Test matches left in the current phase of the World Test Championship, out of which five are against Australia. The result of the matches against Australia can go either way. Meanwhile, India will also host the New Zealand team for three Test matches and all these matches will be very important in view of the WTC final.
Can India still be out?
India is currently at the top of the World Test Championship table and Australia is at the second place. Currently, India’s win percentage is 71.67, whereas if the Kanpur Test is cancelled, it will get 4 points and the team’s win percentage will become 68.18. In this way, India will not be more than 62.50 ahead of Australia, which is at the second place.
Meanwhile, South Africa has to play Test series against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. If the African team wins all these matches, then the race for the final between India-Australia-South Africa will become very interesting. If Team India wins the second Test match against Bangladesh, it will come very close to playing its third consecutive final, but after the cancellation, there is every possibility that India may not be able to play the final this time.
Apart from these, if Sri Lanka wins all its next matches, then its winning percentage can go up to 75 and New Zealand is also not out yet. Overall, there is a tough competition between 4-5 teams to reach the final of the World Test Championship. Therefore, it is very important for Team India to win the second Test match against Bangladesh.
