Pakistan vs Sri Lanka: Pitch Report

The Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore has generally offered favourable conditions for batters, making it a venue where teams can post competitive totals in ODI cricket.

"It looks a belter. It's rock hard with a lot of grass covering, and I think it'll offer consistent pace and bounce. However, initially, initially for a few overs, just for a few overs, it might offer a bit of grip. Other than that, in my opinion, this pitch should behave," Aamer Sohail commented.
