IND vs BAN: Kanpur Sky clears, Match likely to start on Time - How Many overs will be Bowled Today?

After three days of interruption and two entire days of cricketless frustration, Kanpur seems to have finally recovered from the drenching and is likely to offer some action on Monday (September 30).

The Day 4 of the second Test between India and Bangladesh is likely to start on time as the sun is back and the outfield seems to have dried as well.

The second Test has already lost some pivotal days due to rain. The entirety of the 2nd and 3rd day were wasted due to wet outfield, while the first day saw only 35 overs amid another rainy affair.

IND vs BAN 2nd Test: Kanpur Sky Clear, Match to Start on Time

But as we take a sneak peek on Monday, MyKhel can confirm that the sun is out in the city and no such cloud looming over, which only indicates a full day of play today. Cricket Statistician Mohandas Menon also put on a picture on social media depicting the current conditions, which seems encouraging.

There is clear sunlight, while the covers are also removed. Although two days may look too fast to conclude a result, the Indian team will be aiming to go for the jugular. Bangladesh are 107 for 3 in the 1st innings and will be looking forward to earn a stalemate in this match.

How many overs will be Bowled Today?

Although a total of 180 overs are bowled in two days, the umpires can prepone the start on the final two days to accommodate more overs. Similarly, the match can also continue beyond the scheduled time for the same. Hence if everything goes right, around 95 to 100 overs can be bowled today.

India already are leading the series 1-0 and currently sit on top of the World Test Championship standings. A stalemate in this match will drag down their PCT numbers, but Rohit Sharma and his team will still remain top in the points table.
