As part of their final preparations ahead of the imminent T20 World Cup warm-up matches and the main event, the two World Cup title favourites in England and defending champions Australia will face each other in the first of the three-match T20I series, set to take place at the Perth Stadium on Sunday.
The series would be more about fine tuning the sides for the team management ahead of the all-important showpiece event, while also making sure that the players are kept injury-free as well.
For the England side in particular, this would be the perfect opportunity for the likes of England Test skipper Ben Stokes, who will play his first T20I after March 2021, and their limited Overs skipper Jos Buttler, who had also been out of action for the past couple of months due to injury.
Australia, on the other hand, would be without the services of their three pacers -Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, along with Adam Zampa and Glenn Maxwell during the first T20I, all of who will join the squad for the last two T20Is in Canberra.

Highest successful T20I run chases in Perth T20Is*
The Perth Stadium has only hosted a lone T20I till date. The match turned out to be a one-sided contest, where hosts Australia decimated Pakistan by 10 wickets, more than three years ago, in November 2019.
Chasing the paltry total of 106/8 posted by Pakistan, the Aussie pair of David Warner and Aaron Finch had chased the total down with 49 deliveries to spare.
This, thus remains the one and the only successfully chased down total in the format at this venue.
*Update: With four matches hosted by this venue in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022, Australia managed to chase down the total of 157/6 posted by Sri Lanka on October 25, by 7 wickets, which is now the highest successful run-chase here so far.
