What kind of conditions affect the pink ball?In a normal Test, batting becomes easier as the day progresses. But in a day-night Test, the evening is a tough challenge. The reason for this is that the ball starts swinging again due to dew, humidity and falling temperature.Due to this, it becomes difficult to save wickets in the beginning of the second session and the first hour of the last session. In such a situation, if one has to play with a new ball, it becomes difficult for the batsmen to save themselves as well as their wickets. In a day-night match, it is difficult to understand the movement of the ball in the evening, especially when the floodlights start glowing.Why does Australia's pitch become a graveyard for batting?Australia's pitches are bouncy. In such a situation, if the ball starts swinging, it is not easy for the batsmen to read the movement of the ball. If a bowler is adept at bowling long balls continuously, then these pitches prove to be helpful with the pink ball.How does the pink ball play in a day-night match?The match starts in the afternoon,continues till evening and night. That is, the batsman has to play in three different lights. It seems that there is difficulty in seeing the black seam under the lights, which is white on the red ball.Sometimes, the ball suddenly starts sliding on the surdata-face, which makes it seem as if the pitch is bouncing double.
