Rain could delay the start of the second one-day international between India and Bangladesh and once again play spoilsport at the Sher-e-Bangla National stadium in Dhaka on Saturday.

A light drizzle combined with heavy winds hit the capital city on Saturday morning forcing the ground personnel to cover the pitch and surrounding areas.

However, the rain lasted only around ten minutes after which the players from both teams turned out for some practice.

But with the heavy cloud cover above and around the stadium, there is a high possibility that we may see further rain delays during the day.

India lead the three-match series 1-0 after winning the first on Thursday by five wickets.
