Both captains are expected to weigh conditions carefully before the toss. Analysts believe batting first could be an advantage on Lahore’s flat surface, but Pakistan’s spinners may play a decisive role later in the evening. “We talked to local experts who said the pitch looks good for runs,” one source confirmed.
