Gabba Brisbane pitch report
The Gabba in Brisbane is one of the bounciest tracks in the world, and it is one of those tracks in Australia that has not lost its nature. Recently, the first test between Australia and South Africa was played here, and the match was completely dominated by the pacers.
In white-ball cricket, the track in Brisbane has favoured the batters, and it is expected to behave the same in the BBL as well. This is a very good flat track for batting, and the batters will love their time out there in the middle. There is a good bounce on this track, so the pacers will definitely have their say in the initial overs.
In the recent T20 World Cup, a total of four games were played here, where three were won by the teams batting first, and the average 1st innings score was 163 runs. One side of this stadium is long, and the spinners can play an important role in the middle-overs because of the same. Both captains may look to bat first upon winning the toss.
