The weather in Brisbane continues to improve after the game between Australia and West Indies was called off a day before the match due to wet outfield.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The Allan Border Field is expected to be a high-scoring venue during the recent WBBL where there were three successful 160+ chases. The chasing teams won seven of the 8 matches this season and hence the teams winning the toss at this venue would prefer to Bowl first. The rains in the last couple of days could have left out moisture over the pitch which could assist the pacers.
