Australia continues to dominate the history of day-night Test matches. The team has won all 8 Day-Night Test matches played so far. The team is also looking for victory in the day-night Test of the Ashes series against England in Adelaide. The main reason for Australia’s dominance in the Day-Night Test is the fast bowler Mitchell Starc who took the most wickets with the pink ball. Stark has now set another record to his name.
