Toss for India-Bangladesh Test Delayed Due to Wet Outfield
The toss for the second Test between India and Bangladesh has been delayed due to a wet outfield following overnight rain in Dhaka on Friday, September 27, 2024.
Overnight rain left the outfield saturated, prompting the ground staff to bring out super-soppers to dry the pitch. An inspection is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. local time to determine if play can commence.
India defeated Bangladesh by 280 runs in the opening Test in Chennai, taking a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. The second Test is crucial for Bangladesh to level the series, while India will aim to seal the victory.
The wet outfield has cast a shadow over the start of the second Test, but both teams will be eager to take to the field as soon as possible. The toss delay has given the players and officials time to assess the conditions and prepare for the match.
The weather forecast for Dhaka over the next few days is mixed, with a chance of further rain. However, the ground staff is working diligently to ensure that the outfield is ready for play as soon as possible.
