AUS vs ENG Pitch Report: Perth Stadium

AUS vs ENG Pitch Report:

Fast bowlers have dominated the Perth Stadium. The new ball provides pacers with significant bounce and swing from the green and hard surface, which puts batsmen to a tough test.

• Opening phase (Day 1): Fast bowlers receive the most assistance on the first day, making early wickets common.
• Middle phase (Days 2 and 3): During this period, the pitch settles down slightly, and as the surface dries, batting becomes somewhat easier. This is where teams tend to post high scores.
• Final phase (Days 4 and 5): On the fourth and fifth days, the pitch begins to break down, with cracks appearing on the surface. This makes batting extremely challenging, especially as spinners begin to experience erratic bounce and turn. Chasing a target is the most difficult during this phase.
