Gaddafi Stadium Promotion Report

The surface of the third T20I is likely to be similar to the first two games, presenting a classic subcontinental wicket that allows the batsmen to score runs early and then bring spin into the game towards the end. In previous matches, the ball would have been blocked for slower bowlers and once the Powerplay passed, it became increasingly tricky to chase the ball. While Lahore has traditionally hosted high-scoring matches, with the T20 World Cup approaching, the pitch seems ready to challenge teams in the midfield and reward smart tactics. Considering how effectively Pakistan’s spinners defended their total, the toss-winning captain might consider batting first this time around to avoid the pressure of a spin-heavy chase, although the evening dew would still affect conditions.
