India vs Australia 5th T20I LIVE SCORE UPDATES: Pitch report

The surface at the Gabba looks firm and lively with a healthy covering of grass. There are a few visible cracks developing in the middle, which could play a role as the match progresses. Early on, the hard nature of the pitch and the grass on top will offer good bounce and carry, providing assistance to the new-ball bowlers. Batters can still trust the surface once the shine wears off, but they’ll need to be watchful early. Overall, it’s a classic Gabba pitch — pace-friendly to start, expected to settle into a good contest between bat and ball.
