As per the weather signs, light thunderstorms are expected on Friday, the first day of the India vs Australia day-night test, which is rare for Adelaide at this time of year. It will be India’s first pink-ball Test in Australia since they were memorably swept out for 36 at the same venue in 2020, but Adelaide pitch curator Damian Hough insists there were no demons on the surface even then. “I’m not sure when those storms will hit, but we anticipate pulling the blankets on Friday. “Hopefully it clears up on Saturday morning… then it should be fine for the rest of the test,” he remarked.

The history of pink-ball Test cricket shows that batting during twilight poses the toughest challenges for batters. While Hough didn’t have definitive information, he felt the common view of twilight sessions being tough for batters was accurate.
