The historic pink-ball Test match between India and Bangladesh will take place at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Both the teams are gearing up for the special match and would like to tick the right boxes in the match. Meanwhile, India was too good in the first Test at Indore as they won by an innings and 135 runs. We take a look at Match Prediction.
On the other hand, the pink ball is going to provide more assistance to the fast bowlers. The seam of the pink ball lasts longer than the red ball and the pacers will enjoy themselves. Furthermore, it is expected that a tinge of green grass will be left on the surface by pitch curator Sujan Mukherjee.
India would like to continue the impetus.
The Indian seamers are getting better by every match and they would be licking their lips to bowl on the Eden Gardens track. The pace troika of Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, and Ishant Sharma will look to make the most of the conditions.
Mohammed Shami was the pick of the Indian bowlers in the first Test as he had scalped seven wickets in the match. On the other hand, Bangladesh fast bowlers were short in length and they would like to rectify their mistakes.
Meanwhile, Mayank Agarwal continued his dream form going. The Karnataka right-hander scored his second double century and he would like to continue his good form going. Agarwal had scored a fine knock of 243 runs with the help of 28 fours and eight sixes.
On the other hand, Bangladesh will need to pull up their socks. The visitors will need to play out of their skin to challenge the Indian team.
Match Prediction: India will be favorites and they would like to make the most of the momentum. However, India would not like to take Bangladesh lightly. It is a first time that both of these teams will be playing with the pink ball and there are going to be lessons for both of them.
