IND vs BAN Match Prediction & Analysis – Lotus365 Sports Betting Insights
India is in a commanding position after their dominant win in the first Test, defeating Bangladesh by 280 runs. Heading into the second Test at Green Park, Kanpur, India holds all the momentum. Bangladesh’s defeat in the first Test exposed weaknesses, especially in their batting against India’s world-class spin and pace attack.
The first Test at Chennai showcased India’s dominance at home. Despite a brief collapse early on, India recovered thanks to stellar all-round performances from Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin. Bangladesh’s inability to handle Bumrah’s pace and Ashwin’s spin further emphasized the gap between the two teams. As the second Test approaches, India is once again the favorite to win, considering their superior bowling and Bangladesh’s struggles with the bat.
India PreviewIndia’s first Test performance was a showcase of their depth and quality. Even after losing early wickets, Ashwin and Jadeja’s partnership rescued India from a precarious position. Ashwin’s century and Jadeja’s all-round contribution, paired with Bumrah’s fiery pace, dismantled Bangladesh's batting lineup.
The second Test at Kanpur will likely see India stick with a spin-heavy attack given the black soil pitch, which favors turn later in the match. The only concern for India lies in the form of senior batsmen like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, but even without their contributions, the Indian lineup has enough firepower to overwhelm Bangladesh.
Key Players for India: Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, Yashasvi Jaiswal
India Predicted Playing XI:Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj
Bangladesh PreviewBangladesh started well in the first Test, especially with the ball, reducing India to 144 for 6. Hasan Mahmud was instrumental in putting India under pressure, but Bangladesh’s inability to finish off the innings cost them dearly. The batting lineup, led by Shakib Al Hasan, lacked the composure to withstand India’s bowling attack, especially Ashwin and Bumrah.
In Kanpur, Bangladesh must show more application in their batting if they hope to be competitive. Their bowling attack, which showed promise in the first Test, needs support from the batsmen to put up a respectable fight against the formidable Indian lineup.
Key Players for Bangladesh: Hasan Mahmud, Mushfiqur Rahim, Nahid Rana, Shakib Al Hasan
Bangladesh Predicted Playing XI:Shadman Islam, Zakir Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Litton Das (wk), Shakib Al Hasan, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Hasan Mahmud, Taskin Ahmed, Nahid Rana
Weather and Pitch Conditions – Lotus365 InsightsThe weather at Kanpur during the second Test is expected to be rainy, particularly on the first day. However, the pitch at Green Park is likely to offer assistance to spinners as the match progresses. Historically, teams batting first have had an advantage here, making the toss crucial.
Toss Prediction:The team winning the toss should opt to bat first, as the surface will deteriorate over the course of the match, favoring spinners later on.
Winning Prediction:India's home dominance continues to be unparalleled, and with a world-class spin attack and a deep batting lineup, they are heavy favorites to win the second Test and secure the series. Bangladesh will need a monumental effort to challenge India, especially on a spin-friendly pitch like Kanpur.
We predict that India will defeat Bangladesh.
