Fatullah Test

Rain washes out second day’s play

The second day of the one-off Test between Bangladesh and India was called off without a ball being bowled yesterday at Fatullah Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium due to heavy monsoon rain. The intervention of the nature in the game came as a severe blow for the India who were in driving seat and trying enforce a positive result after 34 overs of the first day were lost following a spell of shower.  
With the next three day’s weather forecast not looking good, the Test seemed to head towards a draw. If the Test is drawn India will slip to No. 4 in the ICC Test rankings from the No.3. While a  draw will give Bangladesh to 41.21 rating points from 39, it won't bring about a change in their ninth rank, ahead of only Zimbabwe. As there was consistent rain till the afternoon, the umpires called it day at around 1.30 pm.
