National Stadium, Karachi Pitch Report:

The pitch at the National Stadium has proven more favourable for bowlers than the pitch in Lahore. In particular, low-pace bowlers have performed exceptionally well here, largely due to the surface's slow nature. It has been observed that as the ball ages, the pitch tends to become two-paced.
