Adelaide weather forecast

Rain is predicted to play spoilsport in the highly anticipated competition on Day 1. There is a 40% chance of rain hitting on the first day of the Pink Ball Test. On December 6, afternoon showers are predicted, and the temperature will reach about 30°C before dropping to 27°C. With 98% of the sky covered, the weather can be suitable for pacers. There is a 14% chance of rain on Day 2, and there will not be any showers on Day 3. With a 74% chance of rain, the teams would prefer that the game not go to Day 5.

Let us learn about the pitch and weather conditions that will be available, as these will have a significant impact on Day 1's activities. For the second Test match at the storied Adelaide Oval, head curator Damian Hough has forecast a balanced pitch. On the other hand, Friday is predicted to bring light rains, which may affect how the surface behaves over the first two days. It is anticipated that the pitch will favour bowlers as the game goes on, particularly starting on Day 3.

In day/night Test matches, the pink ball is notorious for swinging sharply, and the Adelaide Oval's circumstances may make things more difficult for the batters. The pitch will have a high grass cover, according to the head curator, which should help the bowlers even more and make things difficult for the batting lineup.
