Australia have a perfect 8/8 record in the day-night Test matches and will go into the second game of the ongoing Ashes series as favourites being 1-0 up in the Tests. Australia have beaten New Zealand (twice), South Africa, Pakistan (twice), England, Sri Lanka, and India in those eight matches, all at home while Adelaide has hosted five of those.
Australia beat England convincingly in the first game at Gabba in Brisbane by 9 wickets as the game was completed in a little more than three days. Pat Cummins took a five-wicket haul on captaincy debut while Travis Head smashed a quickfire century and despite England skipper Joe Root and Dawid Malan’s rescue act, the visitors eventually were bowled out for 297 in the second innings with just a 19-run lead.
Australia will be without pacer Josh Hazlewood, who was ruled out due to side strain while England welcomed veteran pace duo of James Anderson and Stuart Broad into the 12-member squad.
