Pitch Report
The Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore is a high-scoring venue that heavily favors batters, with an average first-innings score of around 250–270 in ODIs. The pitch remains true throughout the game, allowing stroke players to play freely. Recent matches have seen totals in excess of 300 being chased successfully, indicating the ease of batting under lights.
Fast bowlers might get some early swing with the new ball, but as the match progresses, they often struggle for assistance. Spinners can play a role in the middle overs, but the shorter boundaries make it tough for them to contain runs. Given the batting-friendly nature of the surface, teams winning the toss usually opt to bowl first, expecting dew to assist them in the chase.
