Iqbal Stadium pitch report
The Iqbal stadium pitch is generally known to be a flat, dribbling-friendly surface, giving a high scorer a strong opportunity. The surface has historically offered little to fast bowlers, but bowlers can be effective as the pitch wears out and the game progresses. With a long gap since his last international fixture here, the conditions are a little uncertain if a good surface remains for expectations. Teams winning the toss may look to bat first to determine the daring total.
