PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Perth will have bright and sunny weather with no rain expected on the match day. We expect weather interruptions to stay away from this match.

Venue Details

Perth pitch will have some spice for the pace bowlers with good bounce and carry. Spinners will enjoy the slowness once the ball gets old. Batters will look to play carefully as the odd ball might misbehave on this track. We expect the teams to score in the range of 120-140 runs.

Toss: To Bat

Scorchers opted to bat first on this track in the last game as the pitch slows down in the second innings. This will be the second match of the day and we expect both teams to bat first if they win the toss.
