Iqbal Stadium Pitch Report
The Iqbal Stadium pitch is generally known to be a flat, batting-friendly surface, making high-scoring matches a strong possibility. The surface historically has offered little for the quick bowlers, but spinners can become effective as the pitch wears down and the game progresses. With a long gap since the last international fixture here, the conditions are a slight unknown, though the expectation remains of a good surface for the batters. Teams winning the toss may look to bat first to set a daunting total.
