Your daily dose of cricket!
This will be the first instance when Australia and England will go head-to-head at the new Optus Stadium.
The home team has a strong record at this venue, having lost just one of the five Test matches that they have played at this venue, and would like to build on it by registering a win in the opening Ashes Test.
England, on the other hand, would also like to get the monkey off their back, having lost the first Test of a series in Australia on the last three tours.
Talking about the pitch, Perth as a city has also had some good pitches which are good to bat on for the first couple of days, with cracks playing their part from the third day, be it at the WACA or the Optus Stadium, the venue for the upcoming match.
The surface for the series opener is expected to be no different. Going a step forward, it might have a lot more grass than it did last year during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Having said that, one cannot depend on the cracks to open up, as it wasn’t the case in the IND vs Aus match played at this venue last year, and the pitch got better for batting.
Due to the above-mentioned reason, it would be interesting to see how the pitch behaves as the match progresses.
Amidst all the buildup up one thing is certain that both teams will put their best foot forward in an attempt to win the match and take a 1-0 lead, which could prove to be handy in the context of a five-match series.
Batting first after winning the toss should be a no-brainer as it will give the team doing so a chance to have the upper hand in the match come day three, which is considered the moving day.
The team that bats first should post at least 350-360 runs on the board to stay ahead in the contest, as the average first innings score at this ground happens to be 308.
Conclusion
Australia would like to take the lead in the first Test to be played between Australia and England at the new Optus Stadium.
England, on the other hand, would also look to get off to a winning start, something which the team hasn’t been able to do in Test cricket on Australian soil in the recent past.
