PAK vs SA 3rd Match Weather And Pitch Report
Factors | Expected Conditions |
---|---|
Weather | Hot with sunshine in afternoon, clear skies in evening |
Pitch | Batting friendly with help for spinners |
Weather - The weather during the game is expected to be hot but less humid during the afternoon and clear skies in the evening. The highest temperature during the game is expected to be around 33°C and as predicted by AccuWeather there is no chance of rain.
Pitch Report - The pitch at the National Stadium in Pakistan is expected to favour the batters in general. The ball will come onto the bat rather nicely and allow the batters to play their shots freely. However, during the afternoon session, it is expected that the wicket might be a tad slow and help the spinners. If dew does not come in, then chasing a score on this track might be difficult.
