India's sensationally aggressive approach has given them an edge in
Going by the aggressive approach of the India national cricket team, they are looking very good to overhaul Bangladesh's first innings total of 233 runs in quick time. At the time of writing, India were 138/2 in 16 overs with tea being taken. A total of 40 more overs remain on Day 4 and India would look to bat quickly and score as many runs as possible, to not just go past Bangladesh's total but also take a sizeable lead and invite Najmul Hossain Shanto and co to bat again.
It is to be kept in mind that IND vs BAN 2nd Test 2024 Day 5 will have 98 overs of play. At the moment, the game is poised beautifully with India having a slight edge. Bangladesh still trail by 26 runs and if India manage to get the remaining eight wickets, the hosts would fancy themselves chasing whatever the target they are set. There are chances of a result and if we have an outcome, India can be tipped to win while a draw can be Bangladesh's best possible result. The chances of a draw still seem large if Bangladesh bat for a considerable period of time throughout the day.
