Covers 17 international matches at this ground from Jan 2018 to Nov 2025.
What does the Perth Stadium pitch report say? Across 17 men’s internationals from Jan 2018 to Nov 2025, the side batting first in a Test averages 358, the reply just 206, and not one of the 6 Tests has been drawn. The rest of the games are 7 T20Is and 4 ODIs.
Most recently it staged the Ashes Test starting 21 Nov 2025, an 8-wicket Australian win in which Mitchell Starc (Australia) claimed 7/58, the ground’s best figures.
Perth Numbers: Results Every Test, Low White-Ball Scores
Test innings here come out at 358, 206, 254 and 196, first to fourth, so the second innings has been the hardest time to bat, not the fourth. A target of 205 is the most any side has chased down. Results tend to be one-sided: Australia beat Pakistan by 360 runs in Dec 2023, and India beat Australia by 295 runs in Nov 2024 after bowling them out for 104.
White-ball scores have been modest. Leaving out the DLS game, ODI innings average 184 first and 181 second. England defended 259 in Jan 2018, but every other ODI went to the chasers, the best chase being South Africa’s 153/4. T20I first innings average 149 and replies 144. Chasers won 4 of 7, up to 158, and 130 has been defended.
The toss has mattered more than usual: 12 of 17 matches went to the captain who called right.
