Pitch Report – What to Expect at Iqbal Stadium
The pitch at Iqbal Stadium is known for being batting-friendly in the second innings. However, early moisture could help fast bowlers in the first 10 overs. Spinners may come into play as the game progresses, especially under lights.
With clear skies and moderate temperatures expected, conditions are ideal for a full 50-over contest. Captains may prefer to bowl first, considering the dew factor later in the evening.
