The pitch at Chattogram is said to be a batting paradise. The spinners will come into play after day three. Till then, the bowling side needs to be patient and the batters can play their strokes aggressively.
The batting first teams have won eight matches and the teams who have batted second on this wicket have won seven games.
The skies are clear for all five days of the first Test match between India and Bangladesh. There are no chances of rain throughout the 1st Test match.
India will aim to clean-sweep Bangladesh in this two-match red-ball series starting tomorrow. To qualify for the finals of the World Test Championship (WTC), the men in blue can't afford to lose a match.
India hasn’t lost a Test match against Bangladesh and they look to maintain that record. KL Rahul will lead the team in the absence of Rohit Sharma.
Rahul and Shubman Gill will open the innings and Cheteshwar Pujara, the Test specialist will follow the Indian openers at the number three position.
India has named a full-strength for the Test series. Ravichandran Ashwin is also back in this series after the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. Ash will be keen to do well after an ordinary T20 WC.
Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami will miss the two-match red ball series. India will play Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj and Axar Patel as their replacements.
Rishabh Pant will be back behind the stumps after missing the ODI series and Shardul Thakur will be the lone pace-bowling all-rounder as India hasn’t included Hardik Pandya in this red-ball series.
Bangladesh will be looking for their maiden Test match win against a strong Test team like India. The Bangla Tigers won the One Day International series by a margin of 2-1 and they will look to replicate the form and intensity in the red ball format as well.
Shakib Al Hasan will be the skipper for this series in the absence of Tamim Iqbal.
But the home side will want a good batting performance against a Test giant side like India and for that Shakib, Mushfiqur, Litton, Anamul Haque and Shanto need to step up.
The middle order of the Bangladeshi batting didn’t step up in the ODI series and they will be a major concern for them ahead of this Test match series.
The bowlers need to be patient in the first match because the track is a batting paradise. Still, Bangladesh has a good bowling unit and they will be aware of the home conditions.
Mustafizur, Taskin, Shorful Islam and Mehdi Hasan, the stars of the ODI series will have to perform. Mehidy will be a great fantasy pick after his spectacular show in the fifty-overs format series.
