The 25th crash of the Big Bash League (BBL) will take place between Brisbane heat and Sydney Thunder at The Gabba, where both teams will look to dominate the other and get some crucial points for the league.
The Thunder have an impeccable record so far this season with only one loss against Sydney Sixers. The home team, on the other hand, had some disappointing games after a decent start and will hope to use the home advantage in their favor and get back to winning ways.
Big Bash League 2024-25, match 25
- Date and time: January 6; 8:15 am GMT/ 6:15 pm local/ 1:45 pm IST
- Event: The Gabba, Brisbane
The Gabba presentation report
The Gabba pitch is expected to offer lateral movement for seamers, making it a difficult place for batsmen to adapt. However, once players adapt, the true nature of the course allows for free-flowing stroke play, resulting in competitive totals. The team that wins the toss will prefer to bowl first to take advantage of the pacer-friendly conditions and put early pressure on the other side.
