India Vs Bangladesh, 2nd Test Pitch Report: Expectations From Kanpur's Unpredictable Green Park Stadium

The Rohit Sharma led India will seek a clean sweep on Friday at Green Park while Najmul Hossain Shanto's Bangladesh will fight for a draw and survival in the final match of the series, with rain clouds looming overhead.

Green Park Stadium, Kanpur Pitch Report

On the black soil of Green Park Stadium, spinners often shine due to the low bounce, unlike the red soil strip in Chennai. However, a separate red-soil pitch has also been prepared if conditions demand it. The final decision will be made by the management, as the forecast includes some rain. The low-clay pitch typically holds the surface together well after some droplets of rain, providing batters with a good opportunity to score.

In conclusion, the pitch favours fast bowlers in the first two sessions, offering good bounce and movement. However, on the third day, spinners will likely take control as the pitch deteriorates. This is what the black soil from Kali Mitti village is known for— enhancing the effective spin bowling in the later stages of red-ball matches.
