A comprehensive 280-run victory for the hosts in the 1st Test at Chennai has already set the tone in Kanpur as the Bangla Tigers will try to tie the series away from home.
The head-to-head statistics are clearly in favour of India heading into the 2nd Test. The two sides have met on 14 occasions in Tests, with India winning 12 matches so far. Bangladesh have not won a single Test match against India, while the remaining 2 matches have ended in a draw.
Kanpur weather update
While the fans will be ready to flock to the stadium today, they might have to wait for the action to begin with chances of rain threatening to interrupt proceedings throughout the day. The ground staff and the drainage system at the Green Park Stadium, which is hosting its first international match since October 2021, will most likely be put to the test.
