Gaddafi Stadium pitch report
Just like the National Stadium in Karachi, which is a complete batting paradise, Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore is no different, it’s truly a batter’s zone. We recently witnessed in the tri-series featuring Pakistan, New Zealand, and South Africa how the surface heavily favoured batters, while bowlers struggled to gain any control. Most scores went past 300, and considering the strength of both England and Australia’s batting line-ups, we can expect a similar high-scoring contest.
