optus stadium pitch report
Perth Stadium (Optus) has one of the fastest surfaces in Australia, performing well for fast bounce and fast bowlers, especially in light. T20 statistics at the venue show average scores around 140–145 in the first innings, with teams often chasing wins (five wins from eight matches), suggesting the captain may prefer to bowl first if conditions remain dry.
The outfield is fast and the square boundaries attractive, so batsmen who can handle pace and bounce can score quickly once set, but a total above 160 usually requires at least a significant top-order contribution. Since it is a night game that will start at 6:15 PM local time, a hint of dew might help the teams chasing later on a bit.
