HEA vs SIX: Pitch Report
The Gabba pitch is favourable for batting, especially in the initial innings. The new ball doesn’t offer much assistance to pacers, and spinners also find limited support in the first innings. Batters can score heavily in the opening innings if they settle. In the second innings, the new ball provides movement for pacers, and spinners become effective later in the game. Both batting first and chasing are viable options, with an average first innings score of around 170-175 runs. Teams batting first have generally been more successful at this venue.
