Match details: BBL|14, HEA vs HUR
- Date and time: January 16, 8:30 am GMT/ 2:00 pm IST/ 7:30 pm local
- Event: The Gabba, Brisbane
The Gabba presentation report:
The Brisbane pitch usually provides good seam movement and extra bounce for new bowlers. However, once hitters settle into the crease, they should find it favorable for stroke play. Spinners may not get much spin on this surface and will need to focus on accuracy, encouraging batsmen to hit against spin towards bigger boundaries.
The captain who wins the toss chooses to throw first at this spot.
