Match Details: BBL|14, HEA vs HUR
- Date and Time: January 16, 8:30 am GMT/ 2:00 pm IST/ 7:30 pm local
- Venue: The Gabba, Brisbane
The Gabba Pitch Report:
The pitch in Brisbane typically provides good seam movement and extra bounce for the new-ball bowlers. However, once batters settle at the crease, they should find it favourable for stroke play. Spinners may not get much turn on this surface and will need to focus on precision, encouraging batters to hit against the spin towards the larger boundaries.
The captain winning the toss opts to bowl first at this venue.
