This will be an important area to focus on for both teams. Batting under the lights when the pink ball is at its best for the bowlers is a huge challenge and Australia need to step up in that regard. They are the first team to figure in more than one day-night match at international level and needs to show the way for others.

Pakistan have some able swing bowlers and the Proteas had exposed Australia's weakness against the swinging cherry. If Pakistan manages to do anything near what the Proteas did, they will cause problems for the Aussies under lights.

Usman Khawaja and Matt Renshaw looked like the only batsmen who were comfortable batting under lights going by the Adelaide Test. They will need the other Australian batsmen to step up and ensure that too many wickets aren't lost during that period.
