Optus Stadium Pitch Report and Conditions

Perth’s track consistently favours fast bowlers, offering ample bounce that will delight pacers during their time on the field. In the early stages of the match, pacers can exploit the conditions to make the ball move effectively. Despite the relatively smaller boundaries, batters who settle in have the opportunity to unleash their shots. Given these factors, both captains, upon winning the toss, would likely prefer to chase at this venue.
