Pitch report
At the start, Allan Borderfield will be a breeze for batters to pile up runs. But as the game progresses, the slowness of the pitch will cause them problems and pacers and spinners may vary their lines and lengths on the surface to their advantage. Therefore, the captain who wins the toss in the upcoming game will be tempted to bat first to score a big hit and put the opponent under pressure. As for the weather, there is a 90 per cent chance of rain in Brisbane, potentially leading to a drop in overs and a rain-related game.
