Karachi Pitch Report
During the previous five days of the Test match, the pitch at the National Stadium in Karachi provided quite competitive conditions for both batsmen and bowlers. Something similar is expected to occur starting on Saturday during the PAK vs. ENG 3rd Test. As was the case in Multan, the spinners will once again play a significant role in this Test match, particularly beginning on Day 2. However, the batters must make the most of the favorable conditions for batting during the first three days of the Test match once they are set on the pitch. After winning the toss on this surface, the captain’s decision to bat first will be perfect.
