The first-ever floodlit (Day/Night) Test cricket match was played between Australia and New Zealand. This historic match took place from November 27 to 29, 2015, at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide, Australia. The match was played using a pink ball, which is designed to be visible under artificial lights.

Day/Night Test cricket was introduced to make the longer format of the game more accessible and viewer-friendly, allowing matches to extend into the evening. The inaugural match was a significant event in the history of cricket.

While other teams have since played Day/Night Tests, including India and Bangladesh (their first Day/Night Test against each other was played in November 2019, four years after the inaugural one), the very first match was between Australia and New Zealand. The pink ball is used in Day/Night Tests to improve visibility under floodlights compared to the traditional red ball.
