IND SL Bengaluru Test: Delight for fans as 100% spectators allowed in Day Night test in Bengaluru Nonetheless, despite the clamour around the return of fans, the focus over the next few days will be on how the contest will pan out with Pink Ball Tests still being a new playing field for India. Rohit Sharma and Co cruised to an innings and 222-run victory in Mohali, and will start firm favourites against the struggling Islanders. However, India will enter uncharted territory when they step on the ground on Saturday. The M Chinnaswamy stadium has always been a high-scoring venue but the first pink-ball contest could be a different ball game. The conditions are different challenge altogether, with a massive difference in game play before and after sunset. The ball is expected to behave differently in the final session when compared to the first two sessions. While it is predicted that the first session will be good to bat, fast bowlers may get assistance. Dew will also be a factor with games being played late in the day, meaning spinners will have a tough time gripping the ball later in the day.
