HYDK vs ISU: Pitch Report

There have been both high-scoring matches and low-scoring games at the National Stadium in Karachi. It will be interesting to see how the pitch plays on Friday. The captain winning the toss may choose to bowl first to understand the conditions. Fast bowlers could get swing with the new ball in the early overs, so they will try to use that advantage well before the pitch becomes easier for batting later.
