Pitch Report — Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad
The Iqbal Stadium offers a balanced surface for both batters and bowlers. Teams winning the toss often prefer to bat second, as the pitch tends to get easier under lights.
The surface supports fast bowlers, especially during the middle overs when it slows down slightly.
As the game progresses, pacers get extra bounce and movement, creating wicket-taking chances.
The average first-innings score here is around 228, and the highest total recorded is 314/7.
Batting is generally easier early in the innings, but bowlers come into play as the pitch wears out.
