After securing a resounding victory over Australia in Perth to take the lead in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25, India now braces for what p??romises to be the most formidable hurdle of the series- a pink-ball Test at the iconic Adelaide Oval.

India faces day-night test challenge at Adelaide Oval

The second Test is slated to begin on Friday, December 6, 2024. In preparation, the Indian team will engage in a two-day pink-ball practice match against the Prime Minister’s XI, scheduled from November 30 to December 1, to acclimatize to the unique demands of playing under lights.

This Test marks a critical juncture in the series as India will aim to cap??italize on its early momentum while overcoming the challenges posed by Australia’s expertise in Day-Night Tests, particularly at home. The Adelaide Oval, known for its distinct playing conditions under lights, adds an extra layer of intrigue to this high-stakes encounter.

India’s limited experience in day-night tests

India’s history with Day-Night Test cricket is brief but eventful, with only four pink-ball matches played since its inception into the format five years ago. Out of these, three were hosted on home soil, where the team exhibited outright dominance against Bangladesh, England and Sri Lanka. Playing in familiar conditions, India’s pacers an??d spinners exploited the evening sessions, utilizing the pink ball’s extra movement and grip to dismantle opposition line-ups effectively.

However, India’s sole overseas experience with the pink ball came in 2020 at the Adelaide Oval, a match that left an indelible mark on their Test cricket narrative. Despite starting strongly, their dramatic collapse in the second innings, where they were bowled out for just 36 – their lowest Test total – exposed their vulnerabilities under foreign lights. This defeat remains a sore memory and serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of pink-ball cricket, particularly in alien conditions.

India’s overall Pink-Ball record

Despite the Adelaide mishap, India’s overall record in Day-Night Tests is commendable, boasting a 75% win percentage. At home, India has mastered the art of pink-ball cricket, leveraging their strengths in both pace and spin. The seamers, led by Jasprit Bumrah, have consistently utilized the extra movement under lights to dismantle batting orders, while spinners like Ravichandran Ashwin ??have thrived with sharp turn duri?ng twilight sessions.

The success at home, nevertheless, is a stark contrast to their challenges away. Playing pink-ball cricket in conditions favoring swing and seam movement, coupled with Australia’s dominance at venues like Adelaide, has proven to be a tough nut to crack. India’s inability to secure an away victory in pink-ball Tests looms as a key area to address if they hope to strengthen their standing in the World Test Championship (WTC).

Fresh off a confidence-boosting victory in the first Test of theBorder-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 in Perth, India will shift their focus to Canberra for a two-day warm-up game against the Prime Minister’s XI. The match, scheduled for November 30 and December 1, serves as preparation for the much-awaited Pink-ball Test against Australia in Adelaide, beginning December 6.

Rohit Sharma to make a comeback

India captain Rohit Sharma, who missed the opening Test in Perth, is expected to use the warm-up match to regain rhyt?hm ahead of his return to the Test side. The two-day contes??t will provide valuable game time for Rohit as India gears up for the challenges of a day-night Test under lights.

India’s history with pink-ball Tests

India last played ??a pink-ball Test at home against Sri Lanka during the 2021/22 season, securing a dominant victory. However, their previous experience with a day-night Test in Australia ended in disappointment during the 2020/21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, when the team collapsed to its lowest-ever Test total of 36 in Adelaide.

With the series off to a strong start in Perth, the Indian team will aim to build on the momentum while adapting to the conditions of a day-night Test. The match against the Prime Minister’s XI also offers an opportunity for the players to fine-tune their skills against quality opposition ahead of the crucial encounter in Adelaide.

In a pivotal moment during the third ODI against Australia, West Indies players Matthew Forde and Roston Chase became entangled in a significant mix-up while attempting a crucial single. Th?e miscommunication reached its climax with Forde losing his wicket and what?? followed was a heated exchange of words between the two players

Matthew Forde and Roston Chase involve in a run-out debacle

The 21st over of the West Indies innings witnessed a crucial mix-up between Forde and Chase. It all began with substitute fielder Mckenzie Harvey‘s athletic stop to Forde’s mistimed pull shot at deep mid-wicket. As Forde initiated a run, covering more than half the pitch, his partner Chase remained anchored at his end. The swift relay from Harvey to keeper Josh Inglis resulted in an ??effortless stumping and unfortunate r??un out of Forde who was dismissed for a two-ball duck.

On-field drama: Forde’s visible frustration and exchange of words with Chase

The aftermath of Forde’s dismissal unfolded in a tense on-field exchange between him and Chase.

West Indies’ batting collapse: Series finale misery

The run-out incident served as a microcosm of a broader batting collapse for the West Indies, who were put into bat first by Australia in the series finale. Despite starting the first powerplay with a score of 36/2, the visitors lost their way in the middle overs and were eventually bowled out for a paltry 86. Xavier Bartlett emerged as the standout Australian bowler, finishing with figures of 4/21, well-supported by the dynamic duo of Lance Morris and Adam Zampa, who both picked two wickets each.

Jake Fraser-McGurk’s blitz: Australia’s dominant response

In response to the modest target, Jake Fraser-McGurk played a scintill??ating knock of 41 off just 18 balls, displaying unbridled aggression with three sixes and five fours. Inglis also ??contributed with a brisk, unbeaten 35 off 16 balls. Australia efficiently reached the target of 87/2 in just 6.5 overs, securing a resounding 3-0 series victory against the struggling West Indies.

For latest cricket news & updates, visit betvisa68.com.

In a significant setback for Australia, Matthew Short has been ruled out of the third and final One-Day International against West Indies, scheduled to be played in Canberr??a on Tuesday?? (February 6).

Injury to Matthew Short

This decision stems from a low-grade hamstring injury that Short sustained while batting in the second ODI, which Australia convincingly won by 83 runs, secur??ing an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. Despite contributing with 41 runs, Short did not take the field during the sec??ond innings due to the injury.

Cricket Australia names the replacement for the 3rd ODI against the West Indies

In response to this development, Cricket Australia (CA) has made a strategic move by calling up Queensland batter Ben McDermott as Short’s replacement. McDermott, last seen in action during Australia’s tour of Pakistan in 2022, where he recorded his only century in the ODI format, now steps in as the last resort for the Men in Yellow, with no spare batters left in the squad after Travis Head‘s rest. McDermott arrives with recent form, having played an exceptional knock of 146* runs for Queensland against Tasmania in a Sheffield Shield clash. The star batter will aim to carry this momentum into t??he third ODI against West Indies.
