National Stadium Karachi Is It Batting Or Bowling Friendly?

The first match of the PSL 2025 at this venue produced a record-high scoring match between Karachi and Multan. A total of 470 runs were scored as the batters enjoyed their stay at the crease and we witnessed two centurions in the same contest.

Generally, Karachi is known as a surface which tends to favour the spinners, however, if the first match is anything to go buy then we are in for another high-scoring contest. Spinners will still dominate the contest in the middle overs but once the batters are settled in, there is no looking back as stroke-making becomes easier at this venue. The period from 7-15 overs will be crucial as this is the time when spinners will operate and unlike Rawalpindi, the Karachi Stadium provides a bit of bounce which the spinners can exploit.

However, with a night game taking place, the toss winning captain would like to bowl first and chase down the total set by the opposition.
