Afghanistan's rise in Test cricket

Afghanistan scripted history by achieving the Test status in 2017.

In March 2019, they claimed their first Test victory in only their second Test (vs Ireland).

They became only the third team after England and Pakistan to do so.

In September 2019, Afghanistan beat hosts Bangladesh by a huge margin in the one-off Test.

Overall, they have won two and lost as many Tests.

Australia trounced India in the Adelaide Test

On the other hand, Australia are one of the greatest sides in Test cricket presently.

They recently defeated Team India in the Day/Night Test at the Adelaide Oval.

Notably, Australia entered the history books by bowling out India for their lowest-ever Test score.

They would want to extend the dominance by winning the next two Tests, and reclaim the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
