Pace vs Spin on Venue

(Last 10 match)

The pitch at Iqbal Stadium has traditionally favored batters, especially under lights. The surface tends to remain firm throughout the innings, offering good bounce and value for shots. With short square boundaries, power hitters will be in their element. However, as the match progresses, slower bowlers may get some grip, especially in the second half. Pacers who rely on cutters and variations could also play a significant role. A first-innings total in the range of 170–185 should be competitive, though chasing has been relatively easier here under the lights. The toss-winning captain might opt to bowl first, considering the dew factor and chasing advantage.
