PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Lahore is a belter of track where a lot of runs were scored by both teams. We expect another run fear in this match and bowlers will have tough time restricting the batters. We expect humid conditions with weather interruptions in the match.

Venue Details

Lahore will have a good outfield and dew might settle down in the latter parts of the match making life difficult for the bowlers to grip the ball effectively. We expect 180+ runs in this match too.

Toss: To Bowl

Chasing is the best option on this pitch as no score can be deemed safe and bowlers will find it hard to bowl with the dew in the second innings.
