The second Test in a five-match Test series between Australia and India would take place at the Adelaide Oval on December 6, 2024. The Test comes after Australia’s startling 295-run loss in the first Test, which sparked questions about their batting. The Australian batting lineup is under pressure after losing by such a large margin and in such a manner.
The Test match will be a day-night affair with the pink ball at the Adelaide Oval. Australia has never lost a pink-ball test at this venue. However, Jasprit Bumrah, the team’s main weapon in the bowling attack and one of the finest new ball bowlers in the world today, must not be counted out. Their bowling has been impressive, but now, with all the birds buzzing after his first Test victory, the Indian team has gained a whole new dimension of confidence.
It is a prelude to a stormy battle between the two best Test-playing nations. He is sure to have a lot to offer, with both itching to capitalize on the momentum in this series. Adelaide Oval is bound to be electric, so prepare for a real cracker of a day-night Test.
