Bangladesh's second Test against West Indies at Sabina Park was scheduled to be tossed at 8:30 Bangladesh time. But it was delayed due to wet outfield.
In the pitch and condition report, Samuel Badri said that the condition of the pitch is good. there is grass But there is water in the square, the water rises when you step. The umpires therefore call that place unfit for play. Field workers are trying their best to dry the field. The umpires last visited the field at 10 am and 12 pm Bangladesh time. The situation did not improve much. By now the first session is over, the lunch break is on. Next visit Bangladesh time at 1 pm.
Can Bangladesh avoid whitewash?
The venue of the first Test against the Caribbean, Antigua, was not a very tough wicket, but Bangladesh's batsmen had to struggle. The batters failed to score in both the innings. As a result Mehdi Hasan Miraj's team lost by a big margin. A tougher challenge awaits the Bangladesh batsmen than Antigua in Jamaica on Saturday night. The pacers will naturally rule the wicket. West Indies have already announced an unchanged XI. Meanwhile, there may be a change in the Bangladesh XI. Nahid Rana can be seen in place of pacer Shariful Islam. Nahid Rana's arrival is to take advantage of Jamaica's fast and bouncy wicket.
But whatever the bowling department may be, the performance of the Bangladeshi bowlers in recent times is not worrying. The bowlers had brought success in the previous Test as well. They are the ones who brought the team back into the match. But because the batterers could not take the opportunity, they had to lose by a big margin. But the same thing is happening in Jamaica. The recent performance of Bangladesh's batsmen has raised the specter of a three-Test series whitewash.
