First Day’s Play and Rain’s Impact on India’s Clean Sweep Hopes
On the first day of the rain-affected match, the Indian team had taken three wickets of Bangladesh in 35 overs. While the guest team could score only 107 runs. Now on the second day, rain may wash away India’s intention of a clean sweep in the series. Due to the intermittent rain, the ground staff has not removed the covers of the stadium yet.

Efforts to Start the Match and Increased Security
An additional super sopper has also been ordered from Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium by UPCA. So that the stadium can be made playable in a short time. The second day’s match was to start at 9:30 am, which had not started yet due to bad weather. It is expected that if the weather remains good, then match referee Jeff Crowe will inspect the ground after lunch and take the final decision on starting the day’s play.
Given the allegations of assault by a Bangladeshi fan in the stadium on the first day and protests by some organizations, security has been increased at every gate of the stadium. Everyone is being allowed to enter the stadium only after thorough checking. At the same time, a large number of cricket lovers are arriving to watch the second match.
Meanwhile, security at the stadium has been tightened after an incident involving a Bangladeshi fan on the first day. Despite this, a large number of fans continue to arrive, hoping for some action.
