Match Prediction: What All can happen at upcoming IND vs AUS – Perth Test

The Men in Blue created history on Monday, when the team registered a historic 31-run victory over the hosts at the Down Under, after a long span of 10 years. Virat Kohli walked down the field at Adelaide with 6 batsmen, and four bowlers & the planned seemed to work right for the team. 

The bowlers had a bit difficulty adjusting & controlling the bowl as the surface was not quite convenient for the bowlers, but they managed to outshine during the game. On the other hand, prominent players of the team failed to leave a mark but still managed to get away through the innings. 

Now with the second test slated to begin on 14th December at Perth, the speculations are that Virat might stick to his plan of keeping 6 batsmen in the team. Well, the thought doesn’t seem to go with the flow for us & we believe that depending on the pitch conditions of Perth, we might witness changes in the Indian team. 

The pitch at Perth is expected to be in favor of Aussies which means that the Australian players can have a dominant hand in the upcoming match.  The pitch at the Optus Stadium in Perth is believed to lay a helping hand for seamers with reverse swing while would be helpful for spinners as the match progresses to 3rd day. Let’s have a look at our predicted XI of both the teams for the 2nd Test of the IND vs AUS series.
