INDIA FORM: NOW FIVE TEST WINS IN A ROW FOR ROHIT’S MEN

There were plenty of positive stories to come out of India’s five straight victory in Test cricket, none perhaps more exciting and reassuring than Rishabh Pant scoring his first century since returning to red ball cricket after almost losing his life in a car accident. He was joined in the hundred club by Shubman Gill as India set Bangladesh an unassailable fourth innings score against the spin of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, leading to a 280-run-win for the hosts.

BANGLADESH FORM: POOR FIRST DIG COSTS TIGERS

After being bowled out for just 149 in the first innings, it was always going to prove a near-insurmountable ask for Bangladesh to recover with a deficit of 227 runs and so it turned out to be. Aside from the first 20-25 overs of the Test, the tourists were comprehensively outplayed and it’s going to take something special for them to come back and level the series.

INDIA BETTING ANALYSIS

Whilst it’s easy to focus on the spinners here, specifically Ashwin and Jadeja with bettors advised to place stakes on both to finish as India’s top bowler across Bangladesh’s first innings. But from a batting perspective, value is to be found on opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored 56 and 10 across his two knocks in the first Test. The 22-year-old is capable of significantly better and will be desperate to make a big impact this time around. Therefore, back Jaiswal to record over 80.5 match runs on this occasion.

BANGLADESH BETTING ANALYSIS

The first Test between these two nations was a memorable one for bowler Hasan Mahmud. He was responsible for ripping apart India’s top order in their first innings, dismissing Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant on his way to a five-wicket-haul. India’s batters did not have an answer to him and such ability cannot be ignored from a betting perspective. With his confidence high, back Mahmud to gain over 2.5 match wickets in Kanpur.

INDIA VS BANGLADESH EXPERT PREDICTION

The Ashwin/Jadeja combination remains as formidable as ever for India and was simply too good for the Bangladesh batters in Chennai. The expectation is that little will change in this second Test. India’s batters are more equipped to cope with the Tigers’ bowling attack and should ensure that they put enough runs on the board across two innings to allow their bowlers to take control. Back the hosts to secure the 2-0 series victory.
