This evening, Pakistan will take on New Zealand in the fourth T20I of the ongoing five-match series. After the first match got washed out due to rain, Pakistan secured a commanding seven-wicket win in the second T20I at Rawalpindi Stadium.
However, riding on Mark Chapman's sensational knock, the visitors returned the favour, handing the hosts a seven-wicket drubbing at the same venue.
So, as both teams gear up to get the upper hand in the series, let's see how the surface at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore will behave throughout the contest.
Gaddafi Stadium Lahore Pitch Report
The surface at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore will be flat and batting-friendly. With even pace and bounce on offer, the batters are expected to enjoy the conditions, especially against the hard new ball in the powerplay.
However, the track will offer enough assistance to the spinners, who are expected to capitalise on it in the middle overs. On the contrary, the seamers will primarily rely on variations ton succeed in slog overs.
Statistically, the teams batting first have won four of the last five matches at the venue. So, considering the track record, the toss-winner might opt to bat first.
