PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Karachi is expected to have a bright and sunny weather on the match day with 10% chances of precipitation. No rain interruptions are expected in this match. Karachi is one of the most famous venues in the Pakistani circuit and we expect a lot of people of pour in watch PSL opening ceremony and first match.

Venue Details

National Stadium is a belter of a track with good bounce and carry. Batters will enjoy playing on this track and last year we saw scores consistently in the range of 180-190 runs at tis venue. We expect the average scores to be around 180-200 runs in this match too.

Toss: To Bowl

Teams will be unsure of the pitch and chasing is the best option if the pitch suits the batters as no score is safe here. We expect both captains to bowl first on this track.
