Gaddafi Stadium pitch is balanced for both departments.

In the initial overs, the bowling side needs to maintain a tight line and length, aiming to secure early breakthroughs to restrict the opponent to a low score. The role of pacers becomes crucial in the Pakistan conditions. But this pitch is more favourable for batsmen and Due to the small boundaries, we will see many boundaries in this match.
