Pitch Report
Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore continues to be one of the most batter-friendly venues in Pakistan, with flat tracks and even bounce allowing for high-scoring encounters. The most recent games here have witnessed totals exceeding 300 runs, and the pitch has shown little deterioration over time. Fast bowlers may find some movement with the new ball, but as the match progresses, batting conditions improve significantly. Spinners might come into play during the middle overs, but they will have to rely on variations rather than pitch assistance. Given the chasing advantage under lights, teams winning the toss are likely to bowl first to capitalize on the dew factor later in the game.
