The Gabba Pitch exhibition

The pitch at The Gabba is expected to offer lateral movement for athletes, making it a difficult space for players to settle. However, once players adjust, the true nature of the court allows for free-flowing stroke play, resulting in competitive sets. The team that wins the toss will prefer to bowl first to take advantage of the favorable conditions for the pacers and put early pressure on the other side.
