Team India, who registered a convincing win in the first Test, will look to make the historic day-night Test memorable when they play Bangladesh in their first-ever pink-ball Test at Eden Gardens in Kolkata starting from November 22 (Friday). The visitors, who started their journey in the red-ball format against the same opponents nineteen years ago, will brace for another historic first victory over the next five days.

Bangladesh who suffered a heavy defeat in Indore, will now also have to contend with the absence of 12th man Saif Hassan, their reserve opener, who will miss the second Test due to a finger injury. They will rely heavily on the experience of skipper Mominul Haque, Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim, while Abu Jayed’s promising returns from the first game make him one to watch out for.

The Bangla Tigers will go into this game on the back of four straight defeats and the absence of Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal have made things only worse.

The host, on the other hand, will be brimming with confidence with 300 points already in their kitty from the first six games in the ICC World Test Championship. The fast bowlers have been the heart of this team and the likes of Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, and Ishant Sharma will hope to blow up the Bangladesh side with the pink ball in hand.
