Preview:

India Under-23s took a 2-1 lead in the 5-match One-Day series against Bangladesh Under-23s in yet another rain-affected match. The Indian openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Aryan Juyal scored fifties to add 114 in 22 overs without losing a wicket.

Mahidul Islam Ankon ended their misery with a 38-ball 50 which took them to 124 before they were bowled out in 21.4 overs. If not for Mahidul’s fifty, the Bangla side would not have even reached 100.

Weather Condition/Report:

The Lucknow weather is expected to cause trouble for the 4th consecutive time in this series. Scattered thunderstorms are expected throughout the day at the Ekana Stadium.

Pitch Condition/Report:

With the moisture around, the new ball is producing wickets for the pacers while the spinners are ruling later on. The Ekana Stadium is more of a turning track but the rains make it bit better for batting and helpful for the pacers early on.
