Pitch Report
National Stadium, Karachi
This wicket is a batting-friendly wicket which assists the batters only.
In the last match, we saw that the pitch was very good for batting as New Zealand scored 300+ runs in the 1st innings.
Bowlers find it difficult to bowl here and they have to be very consistent with their line and length.
But this time, the pitch is a bit slowish and helping spinners as well.

As in the last match, New Zealand spinners exploited the batting order of Pakistan and a part-time spinner Glenn Phillips bowled 9 overs.
This shows that this time the pitch is still good for batting but providing some help to the spinners as well.
So, the overall pitch Report is that it is a batting-friendly wicket and will provide assistance to the spinners as well.
