Weather Report

The weather in Karachi is expected to be warm and clear, with temperatures hovering around 30 degrees Celsius. Humidity will be high, and the Dew factor will play a massive role in the second innings. There is absolutely zero Rain impact expected, ensuring a full 40-over contest.

Pitch Report & Venue Stats

The National Stadium is a paradise for batters. The Pitch nature is flat with a lightning fast outfield, making it a nightmare for bowlers. The Batting vs bowling trend heavily favors the chasing side due to the heavy dew under the lights.
