The surface in Perth is a batting pitch. Pace bowlers will have a lot of say in the outcome of this match. The pace and bounce of Perth will be tough to negotiate for the batters in general. 245 is the average score at this venue with the average first innings score being 371.

The modern-day don is getting back to his prime form. Probably, the greatest Test batter of this generation, Steve Smith has an incredible record in home conditions. He will be keen to replicate that against a weak West Indies side.
The Australian captain is the number-one ranked Test bowler for quite a long time now. He has been brilliant in home conditions and the extra pace and bounce of the Perth wicket will add to his advantage.
