IND vs BAN 2nd Test Pitch Report
If we talk about the pitch of India Bangladesh Test, it can create new problems for both the teams. Instead of the red soil of Chennai, there will be black soil here, there will not be much bounce and the ball will not carry much. The red soil pitch absorbs less water than other pitches and hence starts drying quickly. This is the reason why big cracks appear in the pitch after three to four sessions of the match.
On this pitch, fast bowlers get a lot of bounce at the beginning of the match. Due to uniform bounce, batsmen also find it easy to play after getting set. But as the cracks start appearing in the soil, the spin bowlers get the upper hand and the game can become challenging for the batsmen.
