PAK vs AUS Pitch Report: Pakistan Gaddafi Stadium

PAK vs AUS 1st T20I Pitch Report: The Gaddafi Stadium has recently undergone renovations, but it retains its reputation as a "batting paradise." It's a flat pitch where the ball comes onto the bat nicely. Historically, scores have been around 165-175, but due to the short boundaries and evening dew, a score of over 190 might be necessary to feel safe. Chasing targets is preferred in night games here because the dew makes it difficult for spinners to grip the ball.
