The Gabba stadium offers a batting-friendly wicket with even bounce. Pace bowlers might find assistance in the initial overs and spinners can also play their role in the middle overs. However, the pitch will remain good for batting throughout the match and an exciting encounter awaits in Brisbane on Thursday. Going by history, bowling first should be the preferred option at this venue.
