Pitch Report – Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
Gaddafi Stadium generally offers a good batting surface, with relatively true bounce and conditions that allow stroke-makers to play their shots.
The new ball can provide some movement for fast bowlers, but once batters settle in, scoring becomes easier. Spinners can become important during the middle overs.
