Pitch Report

The surface at the Gabba assists the pacers a lot as it offers quite a lot of bounce. The Gabba garnered lot of attention for its additional bounce in the first Test match of the ongoing Australia and South Africa series. Barring the bounce, the batters can score runs on the surface and hit through the line.

Probable Best Performers from HEA vs STR

Probable best batter: Matthew Short

Matthew Short relished a terrific outing in his previous game against Sydney Thunder as he smashed 65 runs from 44 deliveries which included five maximums and three boundaries at a strike rate of 147.73. Brisbane would be keen to get him out early before he gets lethal and scores big.

Probable best bowler: Michael Neser

Despite the loss to Melbourne Renegades, Neser had a magnificent outing as he picked up a hat-trick in the contest and bagged four wickets in total. The pacer has the potential of getting movement with the ball early on which could threaten the rival batters. Neser will look to continue being an integral asset for the side by handing them major breakthroughs.
