Perth Stadium Pitch Report:
The Optus Stadium pitch is known for its pace and bounce, making it one of the toughest surfaces for an early death. The three Odis played here, the second groups, won twice with first innings totals of 183 overs. Fast bowlers tend to dominate, five times as many as the Spaniards. Fighters must adjust quickly for the extra lift before they start hitting. However, once settled, batsmen can cash in later in the innings. The throws will be very important as they face confusion under the lights when the surface is off. The weather forecast for Sunday looks favorable for cricket with partly cloudy skies and pleasant temperatures. A score around 260 can prove highly competitive considering the track history of this venue.
