Who will win India vs Bangladesh, 2nd Test 2019?
India welcome Bangladesh to Eden Gardens, Kolkata, for their first ever day-night test match in India. The hosts are looking to wrap up a series win to continue their excellent start to the ICC World Test Championship. The match takes place between November 22-26 and play starts at 13:00 each day.
India, who have now won six matches from six in the inaugural ICC World Test Championship and have never lost a test against Bangladesh, were in dominant form in the first test. Mayank Agarwal hit a double-century and Mohammed Shami claimed seven wickets as they won by an innings and 130 runs.
In Bangladesh’s first test since the Championship was inaugurated, the Tigers were bowled out for 150 and 213. Suspended captain Shakib Al Hasan is a big miss, and they are big outsiders for this second test too.

IND vs BAN Toss Prediction
Bangladesh won the toss and batted first last time out, but India might elect to bowl first if the green top looks likely to aid the bowlers early on. They must also consider the dew factor later in the evening, however.
IND vs BAN Weather Report
Humidity and evening dew will need to be considered, but conditions in Kolkata should otherwise be perfect with warm, sunny and clear weather on the forecast.
IND vs BAN Pitch Condition
Eden Gardens should provide turn and bounce with the pitch curator not expecting the day-night factor to have a big bearing in how the pitch behaves compared to normal.

India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
Ishant Sharma returned to the team last time out as India opted for three seamers and it paid off as he claimed three wickets in the match. With Jasprit Bumrah returning from injury, the decision again must be Sharma as an extra seamer of Kuldeep Yadav as a third spinner. India could stick with their winning team.
IND Key Players
Mayank Agarwal: Started a second consecutive test series with a double-century as he hit 243 last time out, to follow up the 215 he scored against South Africa. He has hit four centuries (including those two doubles) in his last nine innings in all formats.
Virat Kohli: Fell for a rare duck last time out but he rarely fails twice in a row and the India captain – who has captained them to more innings win now than any other India captain – will be raring to hit back.
Mohammed Shami: Mohammed Shami: Seven more wickets in the first test – three in the first innings and four in the second – backed up his excellent form against both West Indies and South Africa. In six matches in the ICC World Test Championship, he has 29 wickets.
IND Team Form
India have now won six from six in the ICC World Test Championship after their dominant opening win. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Mayank Agarwal have all hit double-centuries in that time – with Agarwal doing it for the second time last time out as he scored 243. Bangladesh did not manage that many as a team in either of their two innings – bowled out for 150 and 213 with Mohammed Shami claiming seven wickets in total – as India won by an innings and 130 runs.
India Predicted Playing 11
Mayank Agarwal, Rohit Sharma, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (c), Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami
Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
BAN Team News
Liton Das kept wicket last time out but batted down the order and so there could be scope for him to move up the order after the openers failed to impress in either innings. Without Shakib Al Hasan, Mominul Haque is leading the team.
BAN Key Players
Mushfiqur Rahim: Scores of 43 and 64 in the first test proved his importance with the bat – only Tamim Iqbal has scored more runs in test matches for Bangladesh than Mushfiqur, who now has 4,136. The second inning was his 20th test half-century and he has scored six hundreds too.
Abu Jayed: Took the early wicket of Rohit Sharma and then toiled away to claim four of the six that fell during the Indian innings, including Virat Kohli second ball.
Taijul Islam: Took his 100th test wicket in the match against Afghanistan – he is the only bowler in the current Bangladesh squad to have reached that milestone.
BAN Team Form
Bangladesh have lost their last four tests, including defeat to Afghanistan prior to this series and now a heavy loss in their first game of the ICC World Test Championship. They were poor in both innings as they fell to 150 and 213 – losing by an innings and 130 runs.
Bangladesh Predicted Playing 11
Shadnam Islam, Imrul Kayes, Mominul Haque (c), Mohammad Mithun, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah, Liton Das (wk), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Abu Jayed, Ebadat Hossain
