Zahoor Ahmed Choudhary Stadium Pitch Report:

The pitch is completely flat but there is some crack in it and this can help the spinners a lot. Batsmen will have to bat with patience here. Spinners will get a lot of help in the middle overs. The average score of the first innings here is 226. If both the teams want to win this match then both batting and bowling will have to be done very well here.
