India looks poised to dominate Bangladesh in the second Test of the 2024 series at Green Park, Kanpur. India won the first Test by a massive margin of 280 runs, thanks to stellar performances from Ashwin (113 runs and 6 wickets) and Jadeja (86 runs and 5 wickets). With Bangladesh struggling to apply themselves, especially in their batting, India’s spin trio of Ashwin, Jadeja, and Axar Patel are expected to control the game again. Bangladesh needs a solid performance to stay competitive, but India is heavily favored to win this match and seal the series.
India Preview
India’s first Test win showcased the team’s resilience and depth. Ashwin and Jadeja shined in both batting and bowling, while Bumrah’s pace dismantled Bangladesh’s batting lineup. Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill added centuries in the second innings, setting up an impossible target for Bangladesh. India’s spinners will be a key factor in the second Test, with Kanpur’s black soil pitch offering turn and bounce.

Bangladesh Preview
Bangladesh had a few bright moments in the first Test, but their failure to capitalize on India’s early collapse cost them the game.

Shakib Al Hasan: Star all-rounder with leadership responsibilities.
