A 5-match test series is being played between India and Australia. The second test of the series will be day-night pink ball test. To prepare for this match, Team India had to play a two-day practice match against Prime Minister’s XI. The practice matches were scheduled to begin today, Saturday, 30 November, but the first day was abandoned without a toss due to rain.
Team India suffered a big loss
Cancellation of the first day of the match can prove to be a big loss for Team India. Because now the Indian team will get only one day time in the warm-up match to prepare for the Pink Ball Test. This match is to be played at Manuka Oval, where rain seems to be becoming a villain for Team India.
Next day’s match will be 50-50 overs
After the first day was washed out due to rain, both the teams will play a 50-50 over match on the second day, that is, both the teams will have to play a 50-50 over match on the second day. In this way, Team India will get 50-50 overs in both batting and bowling departments.
This match will be played from 06 December
The second match of Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be played from 06 December. This will be a day-night test with pink ball, which will be played at Adelaide Oval.
