Bad rating for Kanpur’s outfield, demerit points too: Bangladesh all out twice in two and a half days; India won the match

The third day’s play of the India-Bangladesh second Test in Kanpur could not be played due to a bad outfield.

ICC has given a poor rating to the outfield of Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. Not only this, one demerit point has also been added to the stadium’s account. However, the council has given the Green Park pitch a satisfactory rating.

Here the second and last match of the Test series was played between India and Bangladesh, which the Indian team won by 7 wickets in just two and a half days of play. Only 35 overs could be played on the first day of the match, while not a single over could be bowled on the second and third days. That too, when there was no rain during the third day of play.

Despite almost two and a half days of play being washed out due to rain, India took all 20 wickets of Bangladesh in 121.2 overs and won by scoring 383 runs in 52 overs at a run rate of 7.36. See 3 photos…
