The match between India and Bangladesh will be only the 12th day/night match in Test history but the first to feature either of the teams. This game is not only the first D/N Test to be hosted by India but also the first in the sub-continent. The Adelaide Oval hosted the first-ever Test match under the lights back in 2015 where Australia faced New Zealand.

The Aussies won the game by three wickets and featured in four more D/N Tests thereafter and won all of those. They are slated to play their 6th day-night Test later this month against Pakistan in Adelaide. All the 11 Day/Night Tests have produced results and organizers in India are working hard to keep that streak going along by providing a sporting track.

Nine of those 11 matches have been won by the home team and visiting side got away with a win twice. Interestingly, Sri Lanka were the winning visiting team on both occasions. They defeated Pakistan by 68 runs in the game played at the Dubai Stadium in 2017 and registered a 4-wicket win against the West Indies last year in the Test match hosted by Bridgetown.
