With the Indian monsoon in its retreating phase, rain showers have been prevalent across the region. The first day was called off just after 35 overs bowled and 107 runs scored by Bangladesh for the loss of 3 wickets, led by pacer Akash Deep's 2 wickets.

On the morning of Day 3, the rain followed by the bad light made sure that the game didn't happen as the day got called off with no balls bowled.
