Pitch Report

The Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore is known for high-scoring matches on a flat pitch. Batting in the initial innings is expected to be more comfortable, but as the match progresses and the pitch undergoes wear and tear due to the sun’s heat, spinners might become usefull in the second innings. Therefore, winning the toss and opting to bat first will likely be the preferable choice.
