With the T20 World Cup 2022 around the corner, Australia and England are set to face each other in the three-match T20I series starting at Perth Stadium on Sunday (October 09).
The hosts have recently hosted West Indies for the two-match T20I leg, where they whitewashed the Caribbean side. Similary, England have completed a memorable tour of Pakistan where the three lions engaged in a seven-match series and ended up winning it 3-4.
Pitch report:
Pacers are likely to get assistance at this venue, especially in the initial stage of an innings. So far, the Perth stadium hosted one T20I in 2019 between Australia and Pakistan, where the Aussies had chased down 107 with 10 wickets in hand.
