Pitch Report

The pitch at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore is known to be a paradise for batters, offering true bounce and pace, making stroke play easier. Recent matches at this venue have seen high-scoring encounters, with teams comfortably crossing the 300-run mark in ODIs. The surface remains consistent throughout the game, allowing chasing teams to have an advantage, especially under lights. Pacers get some movement early on, but as the ball gets older, batting becomes even smoother. Spinners may play a role in the middle overs, but they don’t get much assistance from the track. With a history of successful chases, captains winning the toss often opt to field first.
