PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Perth would have clear skies on October 1, and this would bring some respite to the batsmen. It is one of the toughest wickets in Australia, and batsmen would have to focus on building partnerships in this game. The side batting first would be happy to go past the 280-run mark.

Venue Details

WACA Ground, Perth, is one of the best bowling wickets in the world, where the batsmen find it difficult to bat on. Spinners struggle on this surface as there is no assistance for them. Fast bowlers have done well on this surface as they can get the ball to move off the surface and in the air.

Toss: To Bowl

The wicket would be lively and fast bowlers would generate bounce and carry off the surface. It would be tough to bat against the new ball on this track. In the past, sides that have chased scores have won more games at this venue. The team winning the toss shall have little hesitation in opting to bowl first in the game.
