South Africa has troubled Australia every single time they have traveled for a Test series. Since 2008 Australia has not been able to defeat South Africa in a Test series in Australia.
Australia is known to dominate every single opposition at their home except the Proteas. The last time when these two teams faced each other in a 3-match Test Series on Australian soil was back in 2016. Faf Duplessis led his team to a 2-1 victory away from home at that time.

Australia vs South Africa 1st Test 2022-23: Gabba Pitch Report
The first-ever Test match at this venue was played between these two teams only back in 1931.
The wicket provides a healthy competition between bat and ball. The pitch offers a lot of bounce and pace but once the batsman gets settled he can make big runs as well. As the game progresses the cracks also get open up in the Gabba wicket so the spinners will also have a role to play.
Batting first in this wicket won’t be a bad option on this wicket.
