Perth Stadium last T20I match pitch report
In the previous T20I on this ground, Zimbabwe beat Pakistan by one run in the ongoing T20 World Cup. It was a low-scoring encounter, where the African side successfully defended a 131-run target against the Men in Green.
Only four sixes were smashed by the two teams in the 40 overs bowled during the match. A total of 16 wickets fell in the contest, with pacers accounting for nine of them.
The pitch in Perth assists the fast bowlers. It should not be a surprise if the batters have a hard time dealing with the pace and bounce tomorrow.
