The Australian men’s cricket team played their first Test match at the new venue against India in December 2018 and won that match.
Since playing their first Test at this ground, Australia have gone on to win the next three matches as well.
The pitch at the Optus Stadium is similar to the WACA in terms of the pace and bounce that it generates, and the Aussie quicks have been quite successful on this ground so far.
