This will be the eighth day-night test match in Adelaide and Australia have won the previous seven, and eleven of the dozen such matches held in Australia. The only loss was in their most recent day-nighter, an eight-run defeat to the West Indies in Brisbane.

Since day-night tests were introduced in 2015, Australia has held 12 of the 22 pink-ball test matches played. Australia have never played an away day-night test match.

India have won three of their four day-night test matches. The loss was their only away game, against Australia at Adelaide in 2020. India were bowled out for their lowest test score, 36, in their second innings, the wickets shared between Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins. But Josh Hazlewood, Australia’s best bowler in the 1st Test, misses the Adelaide test through a side strain.

Australia’s bowlers have been particularly effective with the pink ball. Only once has a side reached 300 against them, when Pakistan made 302 at Adelaide in 2019 – and that was in reply to Australia’s 589-3 declared.

That the pink new ball tends to give great assistance to the seam bowlers should also encourage Indian supporters. Jasprit Bumrah knocked over Australia’s top order in both innings of the 1st Test – so what might he achieve when armed with a pink new ball? Well, there is one way to find out.
