IND vs BAN: Will Day 3 also be abandoned without a ball bowled at Green Park in Kanpur? Weather report

After Day 1 concluded with Bangladesh scoring 107 runs in 35 overs and losing 3 wickets, Indian fans eagerly anticipated the resumption of the 2nd Test at Green Park, Kanpur. Unfortunately, persistent rain on Day 2 led to the entire day being abandoned without a ball being bowled.

Mushfiqur Rahim (6*) and Mominul Haque (40*) were ready to resume their innings, but persistent rain disrupted the morning session, keeping the ground under covers throughout the day. Although the rain eased for a couple of hours, water remained on the covers, preventing any play. Despite the efforts of three super soppers working to dry the field, conditions did not improve enough for the game to continue.

With one and a half days already lost, a draw seems likely, but the weather for Day 3 (Sunday) could be a key factor.
