National Stadium Pitch Report:
The surface at the National Stadium in Karachi has a reputation for being favorable to batters, providing consistent bounce and carry that aids stroke play. In the initial phases of a match, scoring runs tends to be easier as the pitch remains firm. However, as the game advances, spinners become more effective due to the slowing surface and increased turn. Meanwhile, fast bowlers can generate movement with the new ball, particularly under lights in limited-overs contests.
