The second Test match between India and Australia will be played at the Adelaide Oval starting on December 6, 2024. This will be an exciting contest, especially with the added challenge of the Day and Night format. With India leading after a victory in the first match, they will look to build on that momentum and put Australia on the backfoot. 

For Australia, this match is a must-win if they are to bounce back in the series and stay in contention for the WTC final. The Pink ball Test adds an element of uncertainty, and with the Adelaide Oval having been a venue for some memorable moments in the past, both teams will need to adapt quickly to the conditions.

India will be particularly mindful of the previous Day and Night Test at the same venue, where they were outplayed by Australia. At the same time, Australia will be eager to show their strength in their home conditions and ensure they don’t fall behind in the series.

So ahead of this much-awaited second Test, let's take a look at the head-to-head record.
