First Day’s Play Also Impacted by Rain
On the first day, the match started with a delay of 1 hour. The match started at 10:30 instead of 9:30 in the morning. The first session was interrupted by rain. Then in the second session, Andhuk Prakash and Pavasan Khoda were introduced. So BCCI decided to stop the game. Only 40 percent of the game could be played on the first day. So 60 percent of the game was wasted. According to the rules, only 90 overs are played in a day in Test cricket. But due to rain, the game was played in 35 overs. Bangladesh scored 107 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in 30 overs.
