India will have to perform well to win the second Test match against Australia. Earlier, India has gone ahead in the series by winning the Test match against Australia in the first match, so they will definitely play well to win the series. However, India was not able to collect a very good score by batting on the first day, instead they lost 8 wickets where they do not have a good batsman at the moment.
Nitish Reddy has been able to score a great score for the team at the moment, but if this player is out, India may not be able to increase the score. However, the Australian team has bowled well, if they can perform well in batting, then something good can happen for Australia. And if the Australian team performs poorly like in the first Test match, then their hopes will be reduced, so Australia will have to take a great step against India today.

Interesting show in India vs Australia. India were 141/8 and were looking to be all out in a low score but they had an spectacular over where Scott Boland gave and Nithish Kumar Reddy scored a total of 21 runs in a single over.
India started bad losing the first wicket in very first ball of the match. KL Rahul and Shubham Gill tried to get things better but as their partnership was broken, Indian wickets came falling. Kaki Nitish Kumar Reddy is the highest scorer for India right now nearing his 50.
The first innings of 1st test too was a low scoring one, so it would be early to predict anything for the teams.

I feel 180 is a decent total for the Indians considering the pathetic form that many Australian batsmen are in these days. Starc was epic and bagged a 6 wicket haul, but Bumrah could do the same soon.

I feel like this test could mirror the first test to a large extent. Let's see if the Indian bowlers can save them yet again.

India vs Australia

The second match of the BGT series starts in the next one hour. Captain Rohit Sharma is back in the squad. Though many fans are not happy seeing this, the captain has sacrificed his opening spot and decided to bat somewhere in the middle. Moreover, in Adelaide, Australia has never lost any pink ball match. So it will be really interesting to see today’s battle. After the WTC point deductions of New Zealand and England, India now only needs to win 2 out of the next 4 matches to qualify for the finals. Will this be possible in today’s match?

After the wait of few days, we finally have a 2nd test match between India and Australia. India executed well in the first match and I am almost expecting the same for this game too.

Before the first match, I was confused about which team would win but after seeing the magical effort by the Indian bowlers and the batsmen, I became sure that India will lead the series. It is a series of five matches. Even though many people will see that India bowled out at 180 runs but remember in the last match too they didn't play the first innings well but strongly came back in the 2nd innings.

India needs to pick back to back wickets otherwise Australia might chase the target by tomorrow's 2nd session and at that time they might get the lead. This is a time when the Indian team can change the game, otherwise, Australia will come in the lead and then it might be impossible for the Indian team to come back in this test match. Both Bumrah and Siraj are wicketless at the moment.

Let's see the current score is Australia is batting at 21 and both of the openers are present, which is good thing for the Australian team. Usman Khawaja and Nathan McSweeney have started the innings well.

^ Personally, I don't find 180 to be enough, especially not with this batting line up, so many prominent names and yet you conjure up this meagre total?...and remember India were 69/1 — 9 wickets lost for 111 runs.

I am impressed with the NK Reddy though, guy is real good, played extremely well in all 3 test innings so far he has played. Want to see him promoted up in the batting order.

At least 70-80 runs short here.

If Australia finishes this under light session without losing 4 wickets, then the scorecard would look like 100-120 runs short. Bumrah needs a supporting role from the other end as well.

We did not see good batting from experienced batsmen like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the first innings. Nitish Kumar Reddy scored the highest for India. Nitish Kumar Reddy scored exactly 42 runs from 54 balls. India batted very badly. The pitch was not batting friendly. Even then, India should have scored at least 200. Because they have a lot of experienced and talented players in their squad. Mitchell Starc took 6 wickets. Pat Cummins and Scott Boland took two wickets each.

Australia lost their first wicket for 24 runs. Usman Khawaja returned to the dressing room after scoring 24 runs. Now McSweeney and Labuschagne are at the crease. Australia scored 37 runs. It is not very difficult to score 180 runs. Australia will be able to take the lead in the first innings.

Australia was fully prepared for this match, they took all the wickets of the Indian team and did not allow them to make a reasonable total. After doing so much effort, they have finally restricted India to 180 only. India were the winners in the last match but now good vibes aren't coming for them in this match.

Australia has also come to bat, they have already scored 38 and lost Usman Khawaja. That could be a big blow for them. Since the last session is in progress, Australia would not want to lose another wicket. If the Aussies can take a lead of 100 to 150 runs (that is very much possible), then Aussies can think of winning this test match.

India has performed very badly in this Test match, losing all their wickets by collecting only 180 runs, which is the worst performance for this match. But Australia has performed very well in terms of bowling, and they started batting and lost one wicket for just 38 runs, losing wickets in a Test match is the most difficult thing for the batsmen to face. Because India has won in the past matches, Australia must come and win, so only a good performance can make Australia win. Now, the run collection of Australia depends on these two batsmen who are currently batting Mcsweeney And Labuschagne. So if the current partnership can last for a long time, then Australia can bring the match to a draw in this match.

In today's second test match, Australia gave a very surprising bowling performance and dismissed India by 180 runs. After seeing the Australian bowling, I think there is a good chance for Australia to win the test match and level the series. India has already won the first match and is leading by one match in five Tests. Australia has also scored 77 runs for the loss of one wicket. If Australia leads well in the first inning, then they will level the series by winning the second test match. Now let's see how Australian batsmen take advantage of the condition and how much lead they set in the first innings.

Well it's true that indian has make a phenomenal comeback in second innings of thier first test match but it isn't confirm that they will repeat thier path and will disappoint Australian once again, after first match defeat a lot of fans and cricket expert really cristise them for underestimating indian. so I think now they are much aware of results and potential of Indian lineup so they will not allow any opportunity to Indian for thier dominance. Also some sledging words of Indian young batter jasiwal cost him very expensive dismissal from M.starc on very first ball at golden duck. Also he took six important wicket hauwl and restrict  indian on very low target. While on the other hand Australian batter continue thier innings at very balance way and build a significant partnership which will really help them to absorb that mounting pressure on them.

[Shishir99]

The Lankans looks good today. They are at 146/1 and they have to score 212 more to start getting lead. To be honest, I thought Sri Lankans won't be able able to score 300 runs in the first innings. But the current partnership reached 100+ and still positive. It is the 3rd session of the day and if they can finish the day without losing a wicket or do not lose too many wickets, then it will be the day for Sri Lankans.

The overall batting from South Africans wasn't good to be honest. Only three of their batter scored 284 runs and the rest 8 players scored 74 runs. But the pitch looks good today. It seems like the bowlers does not have much to do today. Not sure if pitch started to change.

Now let's see how Australian batsmen take advantage of the condition and how much lead they set in the first innings.

Australia would not find a better opportunity to win this match and level the series. I know it is too early to say this but the match situation by the end of day 01, truly suggests that Australia are in complete control. The good thing about the Australian team was that they did not lose wickets and survived the bowling spell by Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. However the challenge is not yet over as tomorrow these bowlers will start fresh and the Australian batsmen will again have to survive the opening session, or at least the starting one hour of Day 02.

[Haunebu]

Australia are going steady at the moment, but that could change pretty quickly thanks to Bumrah with the new ball on Day 2 though he will need support from others too. 60-40 in Australia's favor if you ask me.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka mounted an impressive comeback after the Proteas scored 350+ surprisingly. Mathews is the 3rd test batsman from his nation to surpass 8000 runs. Epic achievement!

This second test format was begun now among India squad against Australia squad and India lead this competition with one victory and total have 5 matches competition. Same like previous match, Indian squad displayed very bad performance not too much scores they collected in first match but their strong came back in first match in second inning was super amazing and no body was believe their badass performance. Australia bowlers restricted Indian batters to 180 scores in first inning and Shubman Gill and KL Rahul both showcased Fantastic performance and both collected 37 and 31 scores respectively and supported their squad. Their most of middle order batsman did not show their actual performance Virat Kohli was cleared out but his effort was shit and made only 7 scores and Rohit shamra did not fullfil their responsibility of captaincy and collected 3 scores. Australia squad trail 94 scores right this moment and they lost only single wickets.

England vs New Zealand

England vs New Zealand 2 nd test game was stated between these teams and England team already won 1 st test game and their effort in this game looks weak compare to 1 st game.  New Zealand team won toss and they elected field first and this game is playing Basin Reserve stadium. Root was dismissed in this 1 turn and he made only 3 runs. Ben showed very poor effort and did not perform well and made 0 runs. Thai is the quite to judge them and think about their lose hope England team will bounce back in game and will show brilliant effort in bowling as well in batting. Brook is not dismissal yet and he complete his half century and made 51 runs in 55 balls and hitted five 4s and two 6s. Ollie helping him to make good runs for their team and he scored 29 runs in 36 balls and hitting Four 4s.

New Zealand disappointed performance continue they lost back to back quick wickets at the end of day 1. England all out after scoring 280 runs in first inning. New Zealand in trouble after losing 5 wickets at just 86 runs. England used four bowlers and all these bowler's picked wickets. Brydon Carse picked 2 important wickets by just giving 28 runs. gus atkinson and ben Stokes also bowl good spell picked one, one wicket. I think England will bowled out New Zealand under 140 or 150 runs and start their second inning with huge lead and easily win this match if New Zealand didn't performed well in second inning of test match.

[Out of mind]

India did not bat well today, their batting was disappointing. India was all out for just 180 runs, Australia bowled well. Australia is playing great to meet the target of 180 runs and they have scored 86 runs for the loss of just 1 wicket. Australia will meet the target set by India only by scoring 94 runs, I think Australia will play great in this match against India and equalize the series.

India is going to be under a lot of pressure. India was able to win the first Test match against Australia. Indian players performed well. Especially in the second innings, India scored a huge 487. India won the match by a huge margin of 295 runs. But the possibility of India's defeat in the second Test match is the most.

Indian batsmen did not play well in the first innings. We did not see a good performance from Indian bowlers either. India scored only 180 runs in the first innings. On the other hand, Australia scored 86 runs for the loss of only one wicket. Nathan McSweeney is unbeaten on 38 runs and Labuschagne is unbeaten on 20 runs. If Australia can start the next day well, Australia will be able to take a lead of at least 150+ runs.

Matt and Nathan each bowlers took 2 wickets of England batsman and let's see what happens in next and England team will bounce back in game and successfully win one more.

England are looking once again on a front line to divert match results in thier favor while on the other hand instead of making some good progress for his team new Zealand are also on a aim to pushing them toward victory, it's really awful and unexpected because we have seen a good face of new Zealand especially in test cricket in recent time but something is going wrong with them. First they face a very brutal results from SiriLankan team at thier home ground and then they continue that defeat run with england. Now after ordinary innings from brooke and pope england scored a decent target but when it come to bat for new Zealand they failed once again and lose his top and middle order wicket below 100 and look they will give away more tomorrow so that they can lose in decent way lol
