Tactical preview & key match-ups

• Top-order battle: Rohit & Kohli's returns vs. Australia's new-ball pace — expect intense early overs and smart use of spinners in middle overs.
• Spin vs pace balance: Perth pitches can be fast and true, favouring batting, but both sides have left-arm and wrist-spin options to disrupt rhythm in the middle overs.
• Bowling plans: India missing Jasprit Bumrah changes short-ball/platoon plans; Siraj and Arshdeep will be important with new-ball aggression. Australia will use Starc/Hazlewood for early bounce and short-pitch aggression. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Weather & pitch note

Pre-match forecasts mentioned cloud and rain risk in parts of Perth around match time, so there was a watch on weather/over-loss possibility — but pitch at Optus Stadium historically plays well for batting under clear skies. Keep an eye on local forecasts if you plan a live blog. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
