  • Australia are undefeated in men’s Test series against England at their last four series (W2 D2) and haven’t lost The Ashes since a 2-3 defeat in August 2015 in England; in fact, Australia have won their last three consecutive Ashes series at home, last losing a home series in 2010/11.
  • England are undefeated in their last three men’s Tests against Australia (W2 D1) after losing six of their previous seven meetings (D1) and haven’t gone longer without a loss against Australia since a seven-Test stretch from December 2010 to August 2013 (W5 D2).
  • Australia have won their last eight consecutive men’s Tests against England in Western Australia and their only loss in 14 such Tests was in December 1978 (by 166 runs); though, this will be the first time that these teams meet at Perth Stadium.
  • Australia have won seven of their last eight men’s Tests including their last three in a row, but their last defeat in the format came at the Final of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-2025 (by 5 wickets vs South Africa); while England have lost seven of their last 10 men’s Tests away from home (W3).
  • All five men’s Tests at Perth Stadium have been won by the team batting first on the day with Australia picking up four wins and one loss in that frame and all five matches decided by a margin of 140+ runs; though, Australia will be looking to avoid back-to-back losses in Western Australia for the first time since December 2008 after losing by 295 runs to India in their last match in the state.
  • England have a batting strike rate of 70.2 in men’s Tests since the end of the last men’s Ashes series in July 2023, at least 11 higher than any other team in that time (South Africa, 58.5), while they are also the only team with a batting dot ball rate below 70% during the same period (England 65%, Australia 71.2%).
  • Australia (41.1) have the best bowling strike rate of any team in men’s Tests since the end of the last men’s Ashes series in July 2023, while England (56.8) have the third-worst ahead of only Zimbabwe (60.3) and Afghanistan (60.6); indeed, Scott Boland (26) has the best bowling strike rate of any player in that time (min. 2 Tests).
  • Josh Hazlewood (Australia) has a Test bowling average of 19.6 at Perth Stadium, the best of any bowler to play more than two Tests at the venue, and has taken at least one wicket in every one of his nine innings at the venue; in fact, his bowling strike rate of 47.5 against England is his second best against any team (38.0 vs West Indies).
  • Steve Smith (10,477) is 451 runs away from eclipsing Steve Waugh (10,927) as the third highest run scorer for Australia in men’s Tests; indeed, Smith has scored 611 runs at an average of 87.3 across his last nine first class innings in Western Australia including two double-centuries, one of which was against England in December 2017 (239 runs).
  • Ben Duckett (England) has scored two centuries and three half centuries across 10 Test innings in 2025 and has made a strong connection on 13.7% of his 691 balls faced so far this year, the joint highest rate of any player to face at least 150 deliveries (also Jamie Smith).
