India vs Bangladesh 2019: 2nd Test, Eden Gardens – Match Prediction; After bagging a victory at Eden Gardens, the Indian National Cricket Team is all set to play in the Pink Ball Test for the final match of the series. The historic game set to be played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Friday. Both the teams would like to go hard at each other with the series result at stake.

In addition to the excitement of watching Test cricket unfold under the lights at the iconic stadium, plenty of talks have also been focused on the tentative behaviour of the pink ball. However, both the teams have undergone intense training sessions with the new balls under lights to deliver the best for the team.

Kolkata Test is the first Pink Ball Test On Indian Surface:

The Indian team led by Virat Kohli has got no concerns whatsoever with all the players delivering goods on a regular basis. Displaying extraordinary skill with both bat and ball, Virat Kohli’s men proved too hot to handle for the Bangladeshi Tigers. The team combination, therefore, is likely to be a key in the upcoming second Test.

While Bangladesh is expected to give serious thought to its 4-bowler theory from the first Test, Virat Kohli and co. shouldn’t have too many headaches while announcing the playing XI. Considering the performances with the pink ball in Duleep Trophy, Kuldeep Yadav would give the series threat to the place of Ravichandran Ashwin.

Apart from that,  the rest of the Indian lineup would be pretty similar to the lineup that thrashed Bangladesh team in the previous Test at Holkar Stadium, Indore. Meanwhile, Bangladesh might change their batting order and also have a  look into their bowling department as well. Apart from Abu Jayed and Mushfiqur Rahim, none of the Bangladesh players looked comfortable facing Indians.
