PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Karachi will have sunny and hot climate on the match day with very less to no chances of rain as per the weather forecasters.

Venue Details

Karachi pitch has been on the slower side with uneven bounce and natural variation to aid the bowlers. Batters need to apply themselves and score as many runs as possible in the first innings. Any score above 240 runs will be tough to chase on this pitch.

Pakistan won all the matches chasing the target so far and we expect both skippers to bowl first if they win the toss. Sri Lanka will look to break the jinx in this match and keep the series alive.
