The 25th clash of the Big Bash League (BBL) will take place between the Brisbane Heat and Sydney Thunder at The Gabba where both sides will look forward to dominate the other and get some crucial league points. Thunder have an impeccable record in the season so far with just 1 defeat against Sydney Sixers. The home side, on the other hand, had a disappointing few matches after a decent start and will look forward to utilizing the home advantage to their favour and return back to winning ways.

The Gabba Pitch Report
The pitch at The Gabba is expected to offer lateral movement for seamers, making it a tough venue for batters to settle in. However, once players adapt, the pitch’s true nature allows for free-flowing stroke play, resulting in competitive totals. Team winning the toss will prefer bowling first in order to take advantage of the favourable conditions for pacers and exert early pressure on the other side.
