The Inexperienced Park curator stated on Wednesday that the wicket for the second Check between India and Bangladesh will likely be a perfect five-day pitch that can help pacers within the first two classes and support spinners on the final three days. The Check is scheduled to begin on Friday. “There will likely be that Chennai match feeling. It’s going to have one thing for everybody. It’s going to provide bounce within the first two classes and it is going to be fairly good for batting for the primary two days. Then, the spinners will come into play on the final three days,” curator Shiv Kumar informed PTI.
