National Stadium Karachi Pitch Report for PAK vs NZ 3rd ODI
Both New Zealand and Pakistan played a three-match ODI series earlier this year as well in Karachi. The pitches at the National Stadium have been really good for batting and the batters are expected to enjoy their time out there in the middle. There is an even amount of bounce on this track which makes it easier for run-scoring.
The average first innings score in ODIs has been 259 runs, whereas it has been 265 runs in the last three ODI matches. In the initial overs, the track is a belter for batting. However, in the second innings, it has been observed that the spinners come into play because of the drier nature.
The dimensions of the ground are very small here and we can expect a lot of boundaries to be scored in this match. There is not much help for the pacers and both teams would like to take advantage of the powerplay overs. The captains may prefer to chase and post a good total on the board in this match.
