Drop-in pitch installed at Perth stadium ahead of Australia-Pakistan series
The Perth Stadium is preparing for a packed summer of cricket, beginning with the installation of a drop-in pitch for the upcoming Pakistan-Australia white-ball series. Interestingly, along with the development, the stadium is on the way to hosting its first international fixture of the season.
After a four-year gap, the Pakistan team is flying to Australia. The tour comprises of three ODIs and three T20Is and is scheduled to begin on November 4 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with Perth Stadium hosting its first match on November 10 for the third ODI.
In collaboration with HG Turf, the pitch was transported using a specialised 30-meter-long, 40-tonne cricket wicket transporter, a piece of machinery exclusive to Western Australia. The technical achievement ensures optimal playing conditions for the upcoming matches.
The venue will host the crucial West Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India (November 22-26), followed by five home matches for the Perth Scorchers in BBL 2024-25, including the season opener against Melbourne Stars on December 15.
