The second match of the five-match Test series between fierce rivals India and Australia will be played at the beautiful Adelaide ground from the 6th of December onwards. The upcoming contest is going to be a day & night one and it's going to be played with the Pink-Ball which is going to make things really interesting and exciting.

Let us tell you that Team India is currently leading 1-0 in the series being played under the name of Border Gavaskar Trophy . In the first Test played in Perth, India registered a huge victory by 295 runs under the captaincy of Jasprit Bumrah.

Now the visiting team will be eyeing to maintain the winning streak by winning the Pink Ball Test. Captain Rohit Sharma will return as captain in this match, who did not play the first Test due to the birth of his 2nd child.

On the other hand, the Australian team will try to win the Adelaide Test by taking advantage of the home conditions. The Kangaroos have never faced a single defeat in a home pink ball day-night Test match. However, the way the Indian team played in the Perth Test, has put the hosts in trouble.

However, if you want to create the best fantasy team for this match, here is the Dream11 team with captain and vice-captain options, pitch report and probable playing XI.

IND vs AUS, 2nd Test-Match details

Date: December 6 to December 10
Time: 9:30 AM IST
Venue: Adelaide Oval

Adelaide Oval Pitch Report:

A good contest between bat and ball can be seen on the Adelaide Oval pitch. The pink-ball has tendency of moving a lot under the floodlights making things really difficult for the batters and favourable for the seamers.

But, as the game progresses, the pitch might become stable, due to which the batsmen will be able to perform better after facing the initial challenge of the new ball. Spin bowlers can also make an impact in the match once the pitch gets older and older, because the ball can turn on a dry pitch.
