India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test happening in Green Park Stadium in Kanpur is currently seeing constant rain. This was the main reason why Day 1 wrapped up early. Now, Day 2’s future is also covered by dark clouds, as chances of cricket look little slim. Since there was rain predicted earlier as well for three consecutive days? If this scenario continues until Day 5, it means there will be no game. Not to forget, all Test games come under the World Test Championship, which means each game has its own value.
India, who is currently at the top, is expected to finish top in this cycle and go to the WTC final consecutively for the third time. But what will happen if the India vs Bangladesh 2nd Test gets abandoned? Then how many matches do the India’s need to win to play in the WTC final in England next year?
How many matches does India need to win to qualify for WTC final if Ind vs Ban Test gets washed out?
