PAK-W vs ZIM-W: Pitch Report

The National Stadium in Karachi is a good batting track with decent bounce and carry especially in the beginning of the match. This benefits the batsmen who like to play attacking shots. Pace bowlers might get some swing with the new ball in the beginning, but later batting becomes easy. As the pitch slows down, spinners become more effective in the middle overs. Afternoon is the best time to bat here. So, the captain who wins the toss should choose to bat first to make the most of better batting conditions.
