The second Test match between India and Australia will be played in Adelaide. The Test match will be played on a day-night basis and will be played with a pink ball instead of a red ball. This will be a very important game for both teams, with the competition starting on December 6th. Before this game, both teams were preparing intensively. Both the Indian and Australian batsmen spent a lot of time in the nets. At the same time, disappointing news for Australian fans also came.
In fact, Australia’s ace batsman Steve Smith got injured during a training session with the Nets. Smith injured his finger in practice. Smith’s right hand was injured by a fall from Marnus Labuschagne and the physio was immediately called in to assess the injury before Smith left training midway through. Cricket Australia has yet to make any statement regarding Smith’s injury.
Earlier in the day, news broke that Marnus Labuschagne had been injured. In a video that went viral on social media, Labuschagne was seen sitting on the ground after being injured. However, after a while, he became busy practicing again. Australia is already struggling with player injuries. The team’s fast bowler Josh Hazlewood was recently ruled out of the second Test and now Smith and Labuschagne have been injured in training, leaving the Australian team in a huge pinch .
There will be a tight race in Adelaide
The pressure on hosts Australia is already high after they lost the first Test by 295 runs in Perth. Under such circumstances, the Kangaroos are eyeing a comeback in the second Test. On the other hand, Team India will try to double their series lead. Now it will be interesting to see which team manages to win the day-night Test match. India will play a pink-ball day-night Test match after falling behind for a long period of time. Team India’s record in day-night Test matches has been excellent. The Indian team has won 3 of the 4 day-night Test matches. India suffered its only defeat of 2020 in Adelaide.
