IND vs AUS, Perth Pitch Report: The first Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia will be played from November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. Pictures of the pitch have been revealed before the test match. Looking at these pictures, it seems that it will not be easy for the batsmen to play on this pitch. A lot of grass is visible on the pitch. To keep the pitch wet, water is being sprayed continuously. In this situation the ball can swing and bounce a lot.
Fast bowlers may like the pitch
Both the teams can take the field with four fast bowlers each. This pitch can prove to be difficult for Indian batsmen like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Usman Khawaja, Virat Kohli and Steve Smith. Whereas fast bowlers like India’s Jasprit Bumrah and Australia’s Pat Cummins may like this pitch. However, the grass on the pitch will still be cut. Only then will we know what the pitch will be like.
Many challenges for India
There are many challenges for India in this series. First of all, captain Rohit Sharma will not play in the first test match. The second big problem is the injury to opener Shubman Gill. Due to which he is out of the first test match. Apart from all this, the recent form of India’s star batsman Virat Kohli is also a matter of concern. India will have to work hard to defeat Australia in this series. The performance of the Indian team has not been anything special in recent times. Therefore, to win this series, India will have to perform well on every front.
batsmen will have difficulty batting
West Australia cricket’s chief curator Isaac McDonald said before the match, ‘This is Australia, this is Perth… I am really preparing the pitch for better pace and better bounce.’ From this it can be estimated that the fast bowlers will get a lot of help here. Due to which the batsmen may have to face problems. Till now, only the team batting first on this ground has been able to win the match. In this match, whichever team wins the toss wants to bat first.
How will the weather be on the day of the match?
The weather will be pleasant every day in Perth on 22 November. It will remain partly cloudy, but there is no chance of rain. The temperature is likely to be around 22 degrees Celsius.
