Pitch Report
The track at the Optus Stadium in Perth has always encouraged the pacers, and the same has been seen in the three BBL 12 games that have been played here.
Perth Scorchers loves playing at their home, and they have won all three of their home matches so far in the tournament.

The pacers have dominated at the Optus Stadium so far, and they will be vital in this game as well.
There is a good amount of bounce on this track, and a good seam movement as well. The average 1st innings score in BBL 12 here has been 141 runs,

If the batters can get set here, they can take advantage of the bounce, and the fast outfield will aid them as well. The boundaries are also not that huge here.
