India vs Bangladesh – 2nd test preview, playing XI
India will take on Bangladesh in the second test match of the two match series starting from Friday. Team India go into this game as the favourites.
Date and Time : 22nd-26th November 2019, 1:00 PM IST
Venue : Eden Gardens, Kolkata
Team India absolutely crushed Bangladesh in the first test and it will hurt Bangladesh as Indian team top the charts of the world test championship.
The Batsmen and bowlers both ruled in Indore and they will again be threatening in Kolkata. Bangladesh need to be careful.
Clean sweeping Bangladesh will give India a lot of points for the ICC world test championship and it’s a thing they will do anyway.
The Batsmen will need to do the job again in Kolkata. While the bowlers as well have to do the job by taking 20 wickets. Good luck to them.
Also we mustn’t forget that this is a day-night test with the pink ball which will be something of a new experience for Team India. So a test aside from the main test match.
On the other hand, Bangladesh will be disappointed the way they played in the first test. For their cricket to be challenging the bigger nations in the test format Bangladesh still has a lot to do.
Coming to the 2nd test match Bangladesh will need to give their all in the first ever day-night test match between India and Bangladesh.
Their bowlers and batters will have to play good cricket at a historic venue. I wish them all the best.
India have a good record against Bangladesh in tests and they will look to continue the good work.
