Actually, in this match, which is being played in Kanpur from 27th September, Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bowl first. But, due to bad weather on the first day of the match, only 35 overs could be played. Bangladesh team has scored 107 runs at the loss of three wickets in its first innings. After this, the play on the second day was washed out due to rain and on the third day i.e. even today the play could not start till lunch break. In such a situation, if one more day's play is not possible then this match will definitely go towards a draw.
According to Accuweather, there is a 3 percent chance of rain in Kanpur on Monday i.e. the fourth day of the match and after that on Tuesday this chance comes down to 1 percent. That means there is a possibility that the play on the fourth and fifth day of the second match will be played without any interruption. But, this will also depend on the condition of the outfield and pitch of the stadium. At the same time, if the match is drawn or canceled, the Indians who are on top in the WTC points table may have to suffer losses.
India will suffer loss in WTC points table
If the Kanpur Test is drawn or cancelled, India and Bangladesh will get 4 points each in the WTC points table. However, India's winning percentage will drop from 71.67 to 68.18. Despite this, India will remain on top, but to retain its position, it will have to perform well in the series against New Zealand and Australia. At present, India has the highest chances of reaching the final of the World Test Championship.
