Gaddafi Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitches utilised at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore have produced a lot of runs, making it a great place for batters. It is anticipated that this surface will help hitters more than bowlers, giving them an advantage from the powerplay overs. We should expect spinners to enter the picture when the innings moves into the middle overs.
