pink ball
Blush-colored round object
A pink ball is a cricket ball used in day-night Test matches, designed to be visible under floodlights.
Traditional cricket uses red balls for longer formats and white balls for limited-overs games, but pink offers better visibility in twilight conditions: The pink ball swings more under lights.
The term also appears in snooker, where the pink ball sits on its designated spot and is worth six points.
