Australia vs India 2nd Test Betting Preview

Australia will look to hit back after suffering a heavy defeat in the series opener against India in Perth. It is Australia that are favourites to level the five-match series with victory in this day-night Test.

India, however, will have other ideas after they themselves bounced back from a home series defeat to New Zealand by claiming success in the 1st Test.

Rohit Sharma is likely to return to the top of the order to strengthen them further but this could be a much closer affair with the hosts keen to answer their critics.

Despite his poor form, Marnus Labuschagne has a good record at Adelaide with the bat. Mitchell Starc has an impressive record with the ball, including four first-innings wickets when these met here in 2020. Pat Cummins was his team’s overall top bowler across both innings on that occasion with seven wickets.

Starc to be Australia’s Top 1st Innings Bowler

Mitchell Starc has an excellent record in Adelaide and can have the biggest impact in the first innings here. He took four first innings wickets the last time these teams met and looks a great bet to strike again in conditions that will suit. His price of $3.50 looks worth considering.

Team News

Australia number three Marnus Labuschagne is coming under pressure after a run of poor form but it looks like he will still retain his place for this match.

Mitch Marsh was reportedly sore after the first Test and Australia could look to rest him if he doesn’t recover in time. This could see all-rounder Beau Webster added to the squad.

For India, Shubman Gill faces a race against time to take his regular spot at number three following a fractured left thumb. He is still likely to miss out but Rohit Sharma is available again to open alongside Yahsasvi Jaiswal. That could see KL Rahul, promoted to open in the first Test, dropping down to number three for this contest with Devdutt Padikkal potentially missing out.
