Pitch Report | Batting Friendly |
Weather - The weather during the game is expected to be sunny to partly cloudy. The temperature is expected to be around 23°C with little to no chance of rain as predicted by AccuWeather.
Pitch Report - The pitch at the Gaddafi stadium is generally good for batting. As this will be a day game, the wicket is expected to slow down and bring the spinners into the game with the progress of the game. So, we can expect that the batters will enjoy the track at the beginning of each innings, especially when the ball is new. However, as the game goes by the spinners will play a crucial role in deciding the fate of the game.
Gaddafi International Stadium, Lahore – Record of Chasing Teams
In the only match that has been played at this venue in the series, the team batting first won. Even though it was a day/night game, the track got slower and hard for the batters to bat on. This being a day game, it is expected that batting will be even more tough in the second innings. So, the captain winning the toss might mostly look to bat first.
