Optus Stadium pitch report

Perth Stadium (Optus) is one of the fastest surfaces in Australia, offering steep bounce and good carry for fast bowlers, especially under lights. T20 figures at the venue show an average first innings total of around 140-145, with teams chasing wins more often (five wins in eight matches), suggesting captains may prefer to bowl first if conditions remain dry.

The outfield is fast and square boundaries are inviting, so hitters who handle pace and bounce can score quickly once set, but totals over 160 usually require at least one substantial top contribution. As this is an evening match starting at 6:15pm locally, a touch of dew later may marginally help with chasing parties.
