Australian batsman Steve Smith is on the verge of yet another milestone and he can achieve it when Australia take on Pakistan in the Day-Night Test at the Adelaide Oval on Friday. Smith is 20 runs shy of Australian legend Don Bradman’s run tally and has a very good chance of achieving the feat against a beleaguered Pakistan unit. Steve Smith was dismissed for 4 in the first Test and would look to make amends.
