PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We expect overcast skies over Karachi on March 11, and conditions will be comfortable during the warm winter evening. Though we have already seen signs of a two-paced surface, the wicket would be a good one to bat on. Big scores have been chased here, and the side batting first would need 180 runs on the board. 

KRK vs PSZ Pitch Report

National Stadium Karachi is known for being a batsman's paradise. The outfield is quick, which allows for easy run-scoring for the batsmen. Bowlers, especially the fast bowlers, have always found it challenging to bowl here. It is a good venue for the spinners, as the ball occasionally takes sharp turns.  

Toss: To Bowl

Defending scores is a massive challenge in Karachi. The dew factor is important in the second innings, where gripping the ball is difficult. The side that wins the toss in this game will look to play it safe by bowling first.
