Preview:

Queensland and South Australia will lock horns against each other in the Sheffield Shield encounter. Due to the heavy floods in Brisbane, there will be no play being conducted on Day 1. As a result, the fixture will be a three-day battle, with extended overs being played each day. Both teams have had a contrasting tournament so far. Queensland are placed at the top of the table, whereas, South Australia are reeling at the bottom spot.

Queensland were held to a draw in their last fixture against Victoria. Meanwhile, South Australia’s last fixture also ended in a draw with Victoria. South Australia are the only side without a win so far, having collected just 12 points from their five outings. South Australia will be led by their newly appointed skipper, Henry Hunt as Travis Head and Alex Carey remain with the Australian squad for the Pakistan tour.

QUN vs SAU, Match 18 Pitch Report:

The last two fixtures played at the Gabba have been in low-scoring battles. In the last match played at the same venue between Queensland and New South Wales, no team managed to score more than 200 runs in any of the four innings. As expected, fast bowlers inflicted the most damage, as the pitch got tougher to bat on as the game progressed. We can expect this trend to continue in the upcoming fixture.
