The International Cricket Council (ICC) has revealed the pitch and outfield ratings for the last game of the India vs Bangladesh two-match Test series at Green Park (Kanpur), started on September 27. 

It was a two-match Test series between the hosts India and the visitors Bangladesh, which was a part of the 2023-2025 ICC World Test Championship. 

MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk, Chennai) hosted the Test series opener, where India secured a 280-run win against the visitors. 

Green Park in Kanpur had dramas and controversies

Green Park in Kanpur hosted the second Test, where only 35 overs were bowled in the first three days of the Test match. The second and third days of the Test match failed to provide any game. Despite no rain, the venue management failed to provide any playing opportunity on the third day. 

Also, one of the stands at Kanpur’s Green Park was considered unsafe, as the stadium authorities were instructed to open up a limited number of its upper-level seats for the spectators.  

Although the Uttar Pradesh government is the owner of the Green Park Stadium, as per the MoU, the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) is responsible for the ground's condition. 

Despite the venue controversies, India still secured a seven-wicket win in that Test match to end the home Test series by winning it 2-0. 

After Bangladesh were all out for 233 runs in the first innings of the Kanpur Test, the hosts India replied with 285/9 (decl.). Later, India bundled out Bangladesh for only 146 runs and comfortably chased the 95-run target by losing three wickets. The entire Test match was completed in 173.2 overs. 

ICC brought two different ratings for the Kanpur Test

The second Test venue faced massive criticism due to a lack of professionalism in handling an international cricket match. The ICC has rated the venue outfield “unsatisfactory.” However, the pitch of the venue received the “satisfactory” mark.

IND vs BAN Match Preview

They claim that beating India is difficult in India. Well, the Indian team is certainly living up to expectations. They ruled Bangladesh in New Delhi, winning the T20I series 2-0 with one match left. The final game of the series will be played on October 12th at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, beginning at 7 p.m. Nitish Reddy's standout performance led the way to their commanding 86-run victory, their largest margin over Bangladesh since the 50-run victory in North Sound during the most recent T20 World Cup.

IND vs BAN Probable Winners:

This Indian team is difficult to beat. They now have 20 wins this season, with a 95.23 winning percentage. This means they've lost only one T20I. Nitish Reddy, the last game's player of the match, will be playing on his home ground, which already appears to be a threat to the visitors. Aside from that, India has won 15 of 16 T20I matches against Bangladesh. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.

Mahmadullah begins his farewell game. He was one of the revolutionary players in the shortest format and his absence will certainly create a significant void in the line-up. India though has had a good chance at looking at their youngsters with Nitish Kumar Reddy succeeding handsomely.

IND vs BAN Key Players

Sanju Samson

Opening the batting, Sanju Samson is probably into his final chances. He has been in and out of the Indian team for years, getting few chances and providing fewer performances with a lot of inconsistency. While he is one of the best in the IPL, his international career is still looking to take off and this series will be very important for him to prove that he is better than the numbers achieved in sporadic opportunities show.

Mehidy Hasan Miraj

Mehidy Hasan is in a huge purple patch at the moment. T20 Cricket though has him in a different role. He is a proper batter who may not have much to do with the ball at the moment, in contrast to Test Cricket where he is an all-rounder. Mehidy Hasan though will be looking to change perceptions on his ability in the shortest format with the ongoing series.

IND vs BAN Match Tips

At home, India remain favorites despite being a little less experienced.

Match Prediction: India Will Win The Match

Hardik Pandya took a stunning catch in the Delhi T20I on Wednesday (October 9) night, where India secured the home T20I series against Bangladesh by 2-0 with one match to go. 

It was the second T20I of the three-match series at Delhi, where India were sent to bat first and the hosts scored 221/9 in 20 overs. In reply, Bangladesh were restricted to 135/9, as India won that match by 86 runs. 

Hardik Pandya covered 27 meters for a catch

Bangladesh were deeply struggling in the high chase when Hardik Pandya took an incredible catch. 

It was the third ball of the 14th over of the second innings, where Bangladesh were battling at 93/6. Varun Chakravarthy delivered an outside the off stump to Rishad Hossain, who connected well to blow that to the long on. Pandya started his running from deep mid-wicket and covered around 27 meters to grab that stunning catch. That incredible catch ended Hossain's innings for nine runs off 10 balls.

Nitish Kumar Reddy won the Player of the Match

Earlier in the batting, Hardik Pandya scored 32 off 19 balls with the help of two fours and two sixes. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Rinku Singh also batted dominantly, as they completed half-centuries in 27 and 26 balls, respectively. Reddy scored 74 off 34 balls with four fours and seven sixes. Meanwhile, Rinku Singh was out after scoring 53 off 29 balls with five fours and three sixes.  

Mahmudullah, who will retire from T20I after the last match of the series, was the only 20+ runs scorer in Bangladesh innings as the right-handed batter scored 41 runs off 39 balls with the help of three sixes. 

All seven Indian bowlers took wickets in the match. Nitish Kumar Reddy (2/23) and Varun Chakravarthy (2/19) picked up two wickets each in that innings. Reddy won the Player of the Match for his brilliant all-round performances. 

IND vs BAN Match Preview

After winning the Test series, India is not looking to slow into against Bangladesh. They won the first T20I by 7 wickets with 49 balls remaining. The second game of the series will take place on October 9th at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, beginning at 7 p.m. India is currently on an eight-game winning streak against Bangladesh. The T20 champions lived up to their name in the opening game, defeating the experienced visitors to kick off the T20I series. Arshdeep Singh bowled first and trapped the Bangladeshi pliers with his swing in the first two overs. Najmul Hossain Shanto, India's skipper, slowed their progress with 27 runs off 25 deliveries.

IND vs BAN Probable Winners:

This will be a close contest between two evenly-matched teams. Bangladesh was outplayed in the Tests, but they will not be underestimated in the T20s. They have a strong overall lineup and promise a tough fight. However, India will have the advantage going into this match. They have a superior batting lineup, and with home advantage, India will start as the favorites in our match prediction. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.

India comfortably made it through the first T20 and also had a chance at looking at their juniors on the way. Nitish Reddy, Sanju Samson and Mayank Yadav impressed on debut while Varun Chakravarthy made a sensational comeback of his own. Bangladesh though are left with a lot of thinking to do. They are struggling to adapt to the changing nature of the shortest format and that has been evident in recent form for them.

Match Prediction: India Will Win The Match

In an exciting first T20I between India and Bangladesh at the Madhavrao Scindia Stadium in Gwalior, Hardik Pandya once again showcased his stylish and flamboyant side both on and off the field. Pandya, who is known for his aggressive batting and electrifying presence, pulled off a spectacular no-look scoop shot that has now gone viral on social media.

Pandya's 'No-Look shot' magic in the final moments

As the game entered its decisive final phase, India needed just a few runs to seal their victory against Bangladesh. Taskin Ahmed bowled a short delivery, and in response, Pandya executed a perfectly timed scoop shot over the wicketkeeper’s head. What made the moment memorable wasn't just the shot itself, but Pandya’s sheer confidence. Without even looking back to see where the ball landed, Pandya stood in place, fully assured that the ball would find its way to the boundary.

True to his expectation, the ball raced past the outstretched arms of Bangladesh wicketkeeper Litton Das and hit the ropes, leaving India needing just five more runs to complete their chase. The crowd erupted in cheer as Pandya once again proved why he is regarded as one of the most thrilling players to watch in world cricket.

As soon as the shot was played, social media platforms, particularly X (formerly Twitter), lit up with clips and posts celebrating Pandya’s no-look brilliance. Fans praised his unique ability to entertain while delivering under pressure. The video clip of the shot quickly went viral, with users hailing it as yet another example of Hardik Pandya’s flair and confidence on the cricket field.

Pandya’s no-look scoop reminded many of his ability to thrive in high-pressure moments, combining his trademark aggression with creativity. The shot added to the excitement of what was already a closely contested game, and it highlighted how Pandya’s audacious batting style can change the course of a match in an instant.

India clinch victory over Bangladesh, lead the series 1-0

The match itself saw India chase down a modest target of 128 runs, set by Bangladesh earlier in the evening. With Pandya’s no-look shot serving as the cherry on top, India eventually crossed the finish line with ease, winning by six wickets. Bangladesh were bowled out for 127 runs in 19.5 overs, with notable bowling performances from Arshdeep Singh (3/14) and Varun Chakravarthy (3/31).

After Pandya's boundary, India wrapped up the match in the next over, securing a 1-0 lead in the series. The innings break saw Bangladesh falter after a strong start, and despite some resistance from Mehidy Hasan Miraz (35), they could not build a competitive total. India’s bowlers applied consistent pressure, and the team's overall performance reflected a dominant start to the T20I series.

India’s wrist spinner Varun Chakravarthy made a stellar return to international cricket after nearly three years, playing a pivotal role in India’s dominance over Bangladesh in the first T20I at the New Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium, Gwalior. Chakravarthy's spell of 3/31 helped dismantle the Bangladesh middle-order, marking his best figures in T20Is as India restricted the visitors to 127 in 19.5 overs.

Chakravarthy's comeback magic

Returning to the national team after two years and 11 months, Varun Chakravarthy displayed his class and variation, making an immediate impact despite a shaky start. Brought into the attack in the fifth over, Chakravarthy nearly got his first wicket when Towhid Hridoy mis-hit a shot to square leg. Unfortunately, debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy dropped the chance, and the ball raced to the boundary. Hridoy capitalized on the missed opportunity, hitting another boundary off the next delivery. To make matters worse, Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto smashed Chakravarthy for a six off the final ball, resulting in a 15-run over for the spinner.

However, the 33-year-old bounced back brilliantly in his second over. He dismissed Hridoy (12 off 18) as the batter holed out to long-on, giving Chakravarthy his first wicket. He continued to torment Bangladesh’s middle-order, deceiving Jaker Ali with a sharp googly, which uprooted the stumps in his third over. Chakravarthy’s relentless variations kept the Bangladesh batters in check, and in his final over, he dismissed Rishad Hossain (11 off 5), who miscued a shot to Hardik Pandya at deep mid-wicket. Chakravarthy's efforts were instrumental in India’s grip over the match, finishing with impressive figures of 3/31.

Debutant Mayank yadav impresses

In addition to Chakravarthy’s heroics, debutant fast bowler Mayank Yadav also had a memorable outing. Yadav started his international career in fine fashion by bowling a maiden over, becoming the third Indian cricketer after Ajit Agarkar and Arshdeep Singh to begin a T20I career with a maiden. The young pacer didn’t stop there and claimed his first international wicket in his second over, dismissing the experienced Mahmudullah (1 off 2). His disciplined bowling played a crucial role in India’s efforts to keep Bangladesh on the back foot.

Yadav’s composed performance, alongside Arshdeep Singh’s brilliant spell of 3/14, ensured that Bangladesh could never recover from early setbacks, and the visitors were bowled out for 127 with just one ball remaining in their innings.

Bangladesh's innings came to a close at 127 in 19.5 overs. Mehidy Hasan Miraz was the top scorer for Bangladesh with 35 runs, but their batting lineup crumbled against India’s disciplined bowling attack. Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakravarthy shared six wickets between them, with Mayank Yadav and Washington Sundar also chipping in with crucial breakthroughs. India will now look to chase down the target of 128 in 20 overs to take a 1-0 lead in the series.

IND vs BAN Match Preview

India's next era of T20 cricket has begun. This new-look team, which lacks the game's legends, has already won two away series at the T20 World Cup. They will now play their inaugural domestic series against a strong and experienced Bangladeshi team. Suryakumar Yadav resulted India to a 3-0 series victory in Sri Lanka. Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mohammad Siraj, and Axar Patel are among the key players missing from that series. Bangladesh, on the other hand, has a strong overall squad, including T20 stars Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mustafizur Rahman, and Taskin Ahmed. They haven't communicated well, however.

A new era begins for Bangladesh. They are without Shakib, who joins Tamim Iqbal, Mashrafe Mortaza and Mushfiqur Rahim in retirement and new faces are likely to be around. India too are still transitioning in a post Rohit-Kohli period and a lookout for Ravindra Jadeja's replacement as well is on. Exciting news though is the presence of Mayank Yadav in the squad. His rapid pace has turned eyeballs in the IPL but his fitness will be something to watch with his pace taking a huge toll on his body.
