Perth Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at Perth Stadium is known for its pace and bounce, making it one of the most exciting surfaces for cricket. Traditionally, it favors fast bowlers, especially in the early stages of the match, as the extra bounce and delivery difficulty.
For kicks, once settled, the true nature of the wicket allows for a free kick to be played. The even bounce and pace make it a good hitter, especially for the square of the wicket. Although spin bowlers can benefit from changes in speed and bounce, it can be difficult due to the lack of significant spin.
