Preview:
Brisbane Heat will face Hobart Hurricanes in the 41st match of the BBL 2021/22 on Saturday. Missing 12 of their main players tested positive for COVIF-19, Brisbane Heat fielded a second-string in the last game against Melbourne Renegades and lost the match by 5 wickets. They will go with the same squad for this match as well. With 3 wins and 6 losses, they are at the sixth spot in the standings with 14 points.
Hobart Hurricanes, on the other hand, lost their momentum in the last couple of matches as they encountered two consecutive losses against Adelaide Strikers and Brisbane Heat. They managed to score 126 and 136 in their previous games which shows failure failed as a batting unit. They are placed at the fourth spot in the standings with 17 points.

Pitch Report:
The surface here at Gabba is famous for its extra pace and bounce, and the batters can make use of it. The ball travels quite well here and the bowlers need to be on top of their game in order to restrict the run flow.
