India face Bangladesh in the second Test at Sher-E-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka

India will look to seal the series when they face hosts Bangladesh in the second and final Test at the Sher E Bangla Stadium in Mirpur, Bangladesh, starting from Thursday (December 22).

KL Rahul-led Team India made light work of the hosts in the first Test, winning by a huge margin of 188 runs on the final day of the match at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.

Kuldeep Yadav, Cheteshwar Pujara and Shubman Gill were the stars of the first Test. While Pujara and Gill struck hundreds in the second innings, Kuldeep took 8 wickets in the match, including a five-wicket haul in the first innings.

Now, the action shifts to Dhaka's Sher-E-Bangla Stadium, where India lost the opening two ODI matches of the ongoing tour to Bangladesh. But, the visitors have a good record in the longest format at the venue, where they have won both their matches handsomely.

The pitches at the venue helped the quick bowlers during the two ODIs earlier on this tour and will continue to be of assistance to quicks in the red ball as well. But batters also dominated due to the flat nature of the wickets. Even in the last Test match played at the venue, the fast bowlers dominated by taking 21 of 30 wickets as Sri Lanka beat the hosts Bangladesh to secure a 10-wicket win. So, the teams may look at adding an extra pace option for the match.
