National Stadium Pitch Report
The surface of the National Stadium in Karachi is traditionally known as a ‘batter’s paradise’ due to its flat nature and consistent bounce. In the early stages of the match, the ball usually comes to the bat well and allows for smooth hitting. However, as the game progresses, the subcontinental heat usually dries the track and offers significant grip and spin for the spinners. Statistics from recent matches at this venue show that slow bowlers have outscored pacers, which is almost double that of wicketkeepers. Average first innings totals range from 225 to 250 and the captain who wins the toss will bat first to set the target before the pitch slows down in the second half.
