Pitch Report

Perth Stadium is known for its fast and bouncy surface, making it a paradise for pacers who can extract steep bounce and movement early on. Batters, however, can also capitalize once they settle in, as the true bounce allows for confident stroke play. Spinners typically have a limited role, with the pace of the wicket favoring seamers. The average first innings score of 165 runs highlights its competitive nature. Captains winning the toss often opt to bat first, aiming to post a challenging total and let their bowlers exploit the lively pitch under pressure.
