Pitch Report

The pitch at Perth Stadium in Sydney is a neutral surface. The fast bowlers will have the upper hand in the early overs. However, as the game progresses, the pitch will settle down and become more favourable for batting. Spinners will also play a key role in this match. The batting first team has good records at this venue. So, toss-winning captains are likely to bat first. Any score above 170 runs could prove challenging for the opponent.
