India Inches Closer to Record-Breaking Test Series Victory Against Bangladesh
India on the Cusp of Historic Test Series Victory Against Bangladesh
India is on the verge of extending its remarkable home Test series winning streak to 18 as it faces Bangladesh in the second Test in Kanpur. The hosts secured a comprehensive 280-run victory in the opening Test in Chennai, and a draw in Kanpur would seal the record-breaking achievement.
India’s dominance in Test cricket has been unwavering, and they currently lead the World Test Championship standings. The team is aiming to qualify for the WTC final for the third consecutive time.
However, the second Test has been marred by rain, with the third day being washed out without a ball being bowled. Bangladesh resumed their innings on Sunday at 107-3 off 35 overs, with Mominul Haque (40) and Mushfiqur Rahim (6) at the crease.
With no rain forecast for Monday, the fourth day is expected to witness a timely start of play. India will be eager to wrap up the series victory, while Bangladesh will be determined to salvage a draw.
The Indian bowling attack, led by Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel, has been in scintillating form, while the batting lineup has also performed admirably. Bangladesh, on the other hand, will need to show resilience and determination to avoid a series defeat.
The match is poised for an exciting finish, with both teams having a chance to create history. India is on the cusp of a record-extending Test series victory, while Bangladesh is aiming to break their losing streak in India.
