Twilight phase, visibility issue, spinners an afterthought; How the pink ball will behave at Motera Stadium

TrendRiot
A year and two months after its debut on Indian soil, the Day-Night Test is back with the Virat Kohli's men taking on England in the third Test of the ongoing four-Test series at the Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad. Given India's dominating win over Bangladesh in the inaugural Pink-Ball Test, the shortest contest ever played at home, where the hosts clinched an emphatic innings-and-46-run win at the iconic Eden Gardens, the home team clearly is the overwhelming favourite heading into the third Test. But with the England series tied at 1-1, the contest offers more uncertainties amid a lack of conclusive evidence on the behaviour of the SG Pink and the nature of the newly-revamped Sardar Patel Stadium, which now holds the record for highest seating capacity. Inferring from Kolkata Test in November 2019 and the available numbers from the Day-Night Tests played across the globe to date, here is a guide to the second Pink Ball Test that India will stage, in Ahmedabad.
