Gaddafi Stadium Lahore Pitch Report

If we look at the past ODI records at Gaddafi Stadium Lahore, the pitch here has remained neutral. Usually, the Lahore pitch doesn’t provide a high bounce to seamers and the ball doesn’t get much movement. Bowling with good line-length and using variations is a key to being effective here. Spinners may come into play in the middle overs due to the slow nature of the pitch. Leg-spinners may prove to be more effective than off-spinners in Lahore.

Batters are expected to enjoy their time on Lahore Stadium’s pitch during Asia Cup 2023 matches. Most of the wickets in Gaddafi Cricket Stadium fall when batters try to clear the boundary. So playing steadily can take batters to high scores. Recently, the chasing sides have enjoyed success more often here, so, the team who wins the toss may go to field first. In the last ODI series here, Pakistan even chased 348 runs against Australia which proves how good of a wicket it is to bat on.
