Team India will make its preparations at WACA Stadium. At the same time, Australia will also complete its final preparations. Western Australia cricket’s chief curator Isaac McDonald told ‘ESPNcricinfo’, “This is Australia, this is Perth… I have prepared a pitch here with good pace and bounce. He also said that he is planning to leave some grass on the pitch, so that there can be more pace.”
According to MacDonald, “10 millimeters of grass will be sufficient. This was a suitable level for last year’s conditions, with the pitch being conducive to excellent play in the early days. “Grass allows for more pace and challenging bounce on the pitch.”
Pakistan has suffered a big defeat
Last year, Pakistan had to face a crushing defeat on a similar pitch, where they were bundled out for only 89 runs in the second innings and Australia won by a massive 360 runs. In that test, Australia’s three fast bowlers – Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc took 12 out of 20 wickets of Pakistan. In such a situation, India will have to be careful.
