Queensland Pitch Report
The T20 records of Queensland suggest that the Pitch in the venue has not been a great T20 batting surface in the past. The same is expected from the pitch in the upcoming BBL matches as well.
The batsmen might need to see through the initial overs and keep the wickets in hand in order to post an above par total here. The bowlers tend to receive assistance from the surface. Bowling first after winning the toss in Queensland is a better option for the same reason. The team bowling first might benefit as the pacers find some movement off the pitch during the initial overs.
