SCO vs STA Pitch Report
Perth Stadium’s surface has a lot to offer for the batters, especially in the first innings; the average score here has been 164 runs while the average first-innings score is 178. The bowlers [mostly pacers] could get a bit of help from this deck in the second half of the game. So, the toss-winning skipper will eye batting first to trouble the opponent with a tough run-chase.
