Match Preview - Australia vs India, ICC World Test Championship 2021-2023, Final

Big picture – final flourish for Warner, Starc, Ashwin, Kohli, Pujara? Is it world cricket’s most prestigious match? Or is it a final that should be more than a one-off contest but cannot be, thanks to the constraints of a calendar that is squeezing Test cricket to the margins, awkwardly positioned between two events that are, in hugely contrasting ways, more important, and tacked onto the end…

SPINNER IS THE WINNER

ICC WTC - 1st Test Day 2 - India Vs Bangladesh

Great day for the Indian spinner today not just with the ball but also with the bat. Good comeback for Kuldeep Yadav.

To start the day Bangladesh picked up Shreyas Iyer early, and he managed to add only 4 runs to his overnight score giving Ebadot Hussain his only wicket from 1st Inning. his hard work did pay off with the prized wicket of Iyer.

Indian spinners Ashwin and Kuldeep both looked good with the bat, Ashwin scored yet another half-century, and Kuldeep looked good when he attacks the ball as well as when he defends it. They together put up 92 run partnership which helped India reach near to 400, Umesh Yadav did just Umesh Yadav thing to hit 2 sixes and helped India go past 400.

Bangladesh had a disastrous start with their openers going cheaply. A few of the Bangladesh batsmen got starts but unfortunately, they couldn't capitalize on their starts and converted to a big inning as a result of it Bangladesh on Day 2 is trailing by 271 runs and 8 wickets down in the first inning. Indian pacers blew away the top order of Bangladesh's batting order bagging 4 wickets between them. then comes Kuldeep Yadav who alone bags the rest of the 4 wickets.

to summarize it was a good day for India to start the day and their bowling attack helped them make it even better. Now India will have to capitalize on this and try to get Bangladesh remaining 2 wickets and give Bangladesh a follow-on.
