Gabba Pitch Report
The Gabba’s pitch for Match 29 in BBL 2025-26 promises a high-scoring spectacle. These drop-in surfaces offer real bounce and a lightning-fast outfield, with short straight boundaries (65-70m) that favor aggressive hitters; first innings averages reached 178 this season, including Heat’s 214/4 high. Early seam movement helps the pacers but flattens out for spin in the middle overs. Minimal dew during the local 3pm start will help keep bowlers in the game. Expect over 350 runs in total; teams that bat first have a 60% winning rate.
