WAU vs TAS pitch report

The pitch at the WACA is typically hard, with grass covering. The pace bowlers should enjoy this while batters must be exceptionally watchful and technically sound to succeed since the ball tends to come onto the bat very quickly. The extra bounce can make it difficult for batters to time their shots correctly.

As the match progresses, the pitch tends to flatten out, and the bounce becomes slightly lower, providing the batters with an opportunity to score runs more comfortably. The seam movement, however, continues throughout the game, making it difficult for batsmen to play through the line.
