What will be the nature of the pitch in Perth?
Perth has always been dominated by fast bowlers and the same story may continue on the pitch at Optus Stadium. Recently, in the picture of the pitch which is going viral, it can be seen that a lot of grass has been left and it is being watered continuously. That means every effort is made to ensure that the pitch remains moist and does not dry out quickly. If this happens then the fast bowlers may be in trouble. A total of four matches have been played in this ground so far, in which the fast bowlers have taken 102 wickets, while the spinners have taken only 37 wickets. In such a situation, it is clear that fast bowlers dominate this field.
What to do after winning the toss at Optus Stadium?
The role of toss can be said to be very important in winning the match at Optus Stadium in Perth. This is because, in the 4 matches played at this ground, all the matches have been won by the team which won the toss and chose to bat first. In such a situation, once again the importance of the toss is going to be very high. If the captains of both the teams go keeping the old records in mind, then they would like to bat first after winning the toss.
