Optus Stadium Pitch Report for IND vs AUS 1st ODI 2025

The pitch at the Optus Stadium in Perth could turn out to be a tough one for batters, with bowlers likely to gain a lot of swing and bounce. Playing shots earlier on might not be the easiest thing to do and the team which bats first on this track might be content with a score in the region of 270-280, which could prove to be challenging. However, given the quality both teams possess, anything less than 300 might also not be enough. Interestingly, Australia have had three matches so far at the Optus Stadium in Perth and are yet to win at this venue. Will that streak continue, or will Australia finally get off the mark at the Optus Stadium?
