Perth Stadium Pitch Report:
The Optus Stadium pitch is known for its pace and bounce, making it one of the toughest pitches for batsmen early on. In the three ODIs played here, teams batting second have won twice, with the average first innings total only around 183. Fast bowlers tend to dominate, demanding five times more wickets than spinners. Batsmen must quickly adjust to the extra lift before launching to strike. However, after settling down, stroke makers can cash in later in the innings. The toss will be crucial, as that groups prefer to chase under the light when the surface fades. The weather forecast for Sunday looks favorable for cricket with partly cloudy skies and pleasant temperatures. A score around 260 could be extremely competitive given the track history of this venue.
