AUS vs ENG Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 1st test, Australia vs England test series 2025

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for 1st test of The Ashes 2025-26 between AUS vs ENG to be played in Perth.

It is time for the most-awaited rivalry in cricket: The Ashes. Australia will host England for five tests in their own backyard with the action beginning at Perth’s Optus Stadium. The first test of the series will be played from November 21.

In the absence of Pat Cummins, Steve Smith will lead the hosts. Australia will also miss the services of Josh Hazlewood, who has been ruled out of the clash due to a hamstring injury. Moreover, the hosts will see two players make their debut in the Perth test.

On the other hand, England have four front-line pacers, including Jofra Archer and Mark Wood for the first game, and it will be an all out pace unit for them. Australia are dealing with some injury issues, but a win in Perth will set the tone for rest of the series.

AUS vs ENG: Pitch Report

The first few visuals of the wicket in Perth show a covering of grass, and it is looking very green. Perth is known for producing bouncy wickets, and grass will make the job for the fast bowlers easier. The bounce here is consistent throughout the game, and the batting will be a challenge up front. Bowling first can be ideal, because the first innings can indicate how the pitch will behave.
