Pakistan vs New Zealand, Tri-series: Gaddafi Stadium Pitch Report

Pakistan typically favors flat pitches in ODIs, and it’s likely to be the same at Gaddafi Stadium, where a high-scoring thriller is expected. While bowlers might get some movement early on, batters will enjoy a good outing, with big runs on the cards. The pitch won't have the sharp turn seen in Test matches like those against the West Indies, but a bit of marginal turn might be there for the spinners.

During Australia’s tour of Pakistan in 2022, three ODIs at this venue were high-scoring affairs, with even 348 being chased down comfortably, and numerous records set. Don't be surprised if a similar scenario plays out between these two heavy-hitting sides, who are loaded with power hitters. Since it's a night game, the ball may skid more under lights, giving batters a further advantage. The captain winning the toss may choose to bowl first, aiming to chase under the cooler, night-time conditions.
