AUSTRALIA
The hosts, Australia have already taken a 1-0 lead after flaunting a classy display of cricket in the first test. Australia completely looked in Ashes’ brawl mode at Gabba in the first test and will hope to continue their ruthless aggression in the second Test as well. It will be a day-night Test match to be played with the pink ball at Adelaide.
However, we might expect some changes in the playing eleven, with Josh Hazlewood being ruled out of the second Test due to a side strain. Replacing him would be Jhye Richardson who will be playing his third Test after his debut in 2019. There were speculations around the fitness and availability of David Warner which were later cleared by his Australia teammate Travis Head, who confirmed that the opener is “ready to go” in Adelaide.
Aussie skipper Pat Cummins was absolutely phenomenal in his debut captaincy stint picking an excellent five-wicket haul in the first innings while Travis Head notched up a remarkable knock of 152 runs. Warner seemed in his natural form smashing 94 Runs. Nathan Lyon achieved a milestone of his career becoming the 17th player to pick 400 Wickets in Men’s Test cricket, joining Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath as the only other Australian players.
Top Batsmen for Australia-
- David Warner- 947 Runs in 8 Matches at 86.09 Average
- Marnus Labuschagne- 1296 Runs in 10 Matches at 82.12 Average
- Travis Head– 992 Runs in 14 Matches at 52.21 Average
Top Bowlers for Australia-
- Pat Cummins– 48 Wickets in 10 Matches, 2.63 Economy
- Mitchell Starc– 43 Wickets in 10 Matches, 3.19 Economy
- Jhye Richardson– 6 Wickets in 2 Matches, 2.41 Economy
ENGLAND
England will be desperately hoping to come up with a better performance both in the batting as well as bowling departments. They could not withstand the lethal Australian bowling attack and only four players managed to reach double-digit scores in the first innings. England’s top-order seemed vulnerable in front of Aussie pacers and the whole squad summed up for 147 runs in 50.1 overs.
England may look to bring in Stuart Broad, who has an excellent record against left-handers, especially David Warner. Joe Root and Dawid Malan contributed some runs with a 170+ Runs partnership, but the other batters will need to show more consistency. If England loses at Adelaide, they will be under immense pressure to salvage the series. They need a series win to reclaim the urn.
Top Batsmen for England-
- Joe Root– 860 Runs in 10 Matches at 47.78 Average
- Rory Burns– 459 Runs in 8 Matches at 30.60 Average
- Haseeb Hameed– 411 Runs in 7 Matches at 34.25 Average
Top Bowlers for England-
- Ollie Robinson– 32 Wickets in 6 Matches, 2.65 Economy.
- James Anderson– 21 Wickets in 8 Matches,2.29 Economy
- Stuart Broad– 34 Wickets in 12 Matches, 2.96 Economy

Pitch Report
The pitch in Adelaide is expected to be a good track for batting, but under the floodlights, the pink ball may give batters plenty of headaches, especially in the evening the ball may seam around a bit. Spinners may also get a bit of assistance. Overall the pitch is expected to have some balanced conditions for both the departments throughout the five days of the Test match.

AUS vs ENG Who will win the match, Today Match Prediction
Australia is expected to win the match against England.
Australia clearly looked the better of the two teams in the test at Gabba. It won’t be a surprise if the hosts win the second game in Adelaide as well. Pat Cummins has shown excellent captaincy with the field setting and leading the Australia bowling attack. England will be looking to make some changes in tactics or it will be the eleventh consecutive Test match for England in Australia without a win. The recent addition of Broad and Anderson will certainly give the required edge to them.
Popular Betting Odds For AUS vs ENG, 2nd Test Today Match Prediction, Cricket Betting Tips
Top Batsman for Australia- Marnus Labuschagne (5.50)
Australia’s middle-order batter Marnus Labuschagne looked in a remarkable touch in the first Test match against England. Labuschagne contributed with excellent innings of 74 runs in 117 balls and also added an important century partnership with David Warner in the first innings.
Top Batsman for England- Ben Stokes (10.00)
Stokes as an All-rounder will be a key player for his team in the second Test series due to his outstanding capabilities both with the bat and ball. Stokes was the leading run-scorer for England in the 2019 Ashes having smashed a fabulous total of 441 runs in 10 innings at an average of 55.12 and also picked up 8 wickets with the ball. However, he could only contribute 19 Runs in both the Innings in the last Test but may definitely bounce back to his natural form in this series.
Top Bowler for Australia- Jye Richardson (6.00)
Richardson will probably be coming in as the replacement for Josh Hazlewood. Richardson made headlines after being the standout bowler of the Sheffield Shield, where he claimed 23 wickets at an average of 13.43. He is eagerly waiting to prove his worth at the big stage after his debut stint in 2019 against Sri Lanka where he picked six wickets in two matches with the best bowling figure of 3/26.
Top Bowler for England- Stuart Broad (8.00)
Broad was a bit disappointed to miss the first Test but is now fit and ready to go for the Pink-Ball Test. If he plays in the second test he will be a key- bowler to place your bets on, given his past record against Australia. He has picked 34 scalps in 96 matches at an average of 37.18 including a career-best figure of 6/81.
