Optus Stadium pitch report

Perth Stadium is known for its trademark pace, steep jump and lightning-fast outfield, making it perhaps the most hostile surface for visiting batters in the BBL. Early in the innings the new ball fires through to the keeper, providing significant assistance to the seamers. However, once the initial movement subsides, the true nature of the deck allows batters to play through the line, rewarding aggressive stroke play. The hard surface rarely offers much turning opportunities for spinners, but the long boundaries provide a buffer for those who vary their pace. Expect a high-scoring thriller if the top order survives the powerplay.
