Preview: On December 6, 2024, Australia will play India in the second Test of the five-match Test series at Adelaide Oval following their crushing 295-run defeat in the opening Test match. The entire cricket community was surprised by Australia’s surprising defeat. The way Australia lost raises severe concerns about their batting in addition to the actual loss.
It’s been a rough year for batters around the world, but no one anticipated India to come here after a 0-3 home loss to New Zealand and win their third-largest Test away from home. It will be a pink ball test. Played during the day and night at Adelaide Oval. Australia has never lost a Pink Ball Test. But don’t ignore the supremely confident Indian team, captained by possibly the greatest seam bowler of all time, Jasprit Bumrah. The day-night Test in Adelaide will be a nail-biting battle between two of the strongest Test squads.
