The India vsBangladesh test match appears to be heading towards a draw, as the first two days have not shown much cricket because of rain and still the teams required to take 20 wickets to win the test match, which is looking tough, as the 3rd day can also be washed out by rain according to the weather forecast. Techinically answer is Yes, the Second test match between India and Bangladesh may end in a draw. However, it’s essential to remember India’s impressive bowling capabilities, which was shown in the first match, where they bowled out Bangladesh within 50 overs, so there are still some hopes of India winning this match.
Will Draw Effect India’s Chances to reach WTC final?
India is still in a good position to win this match but if somehow due to Rain the second match between India and Bangladesh ended up draw then it could make India’s journey towards a hat-trick of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final 2025 in the UK a little more tight but not much concerning. As India is currently in the first position and their win percentage is 71.67, they just need to win at least 4 out of the renaming 9 matches, with 1 draw also being acceptable.
Since India has already won the first test match against Bangladesh by huge 280 runs margin, a draw in the second match won’t really impact their chances for WTC final. India’s upcoming schedule includes 3 tests against New Zealand at home and 5 tests against Australia away. If India Win 5 matches and drawing 1, would actually put India in a very strong position to reach the WTC 2025 finals.
