The Gabba Pitch Report
The Gabba pitch is expected to offer significant bounce and pace on Day 1, ideal for fast bowlers. As the match wears on, it may provide some assistance to spinners with turn and variable bounce. The average first innings score here hovers around 327, indicating a surface where batters can score big if they settle in. Weather conditions might play a role with a possibility of rain, potentially interrupting play and affecting pitch behaviour.

AUS vs IND, 3rd Test: Match Prediction
The Gabba has historically been a fortress for Australia, with its pace-friendly pitch known to challenge visiting teams. However, India’s victory in 2021 broke this trend, showing that the pitch can be conquered with the right strategy and temperament. Given Australia’s recent form at home and the bounce at the Gabba, Australia appears to have a slight edge. Yet, India’s current squad has shown resilience and adaptability, making this match a toss-up. The team that wins the toss and opts to bat first could have a strategic advantage due to the pitch’s tendency to deteriorate as the match progresses.
