How Australia performed in Pink-Ball Test?

 

Australia’s love affair with pink-ball Tests has been nothing short of legendary. In the 12 matches they’ve played under the twilight sky, they have emerged victorious 11 times. Their fortress of dominance was breached only once earlier in 2024, when the West Indies scripted an unexpected triumph, breaking a streak that had become synonymous with Australian cricket’s prowess.

 

How India fared in Day-Night Test?

 

India’s journey in Day-Night Tests has been a tale of highs and one unforgettable low. With three wins out of four matches, their record shines bright, yet the shadow of Adelaide in 2020-21 looms large. It was there, under the piercing glare of pink, that India crumbled to a historic low—bowled out for a mere 36 in the second innings, a moment etched in cricketing lore for its sheer shock value.
