Pitch Report
Gaddafi Stadium has an average first innings score of 279 in ODIs, and the team batting first has won 55% of games. Fast bowlers have taken 59% of the wickets in the last 10 games here.
The last two games here were low scoring, with 241 and 110 batting first. The new ball has done a lot under lights, as Madushanka and Shaheen showed. For fantasy, pick at least three fast bowlers and top order batters who can see off the new ball. Around 260 looks like a good total.
Weather Report
It will be hazy and sunny in Lahore, around 30°C, with no chance of rain. A full 50 over game is expected.
