MUL vs HYK Gaddafi Stadium Pitch Report
In the MUL vs HYK PSL 2026 match, the pitch at Gaddafi Stadium favors batsmen. The surface at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium is flat and conducive to batting; it offers true bounce and a good flow of the ball for stroke-playing batsmen, while the fast outfield aids in posting high scores.
This pitch provides consistent bounce and pace, which initially assists fast bowlers with the new ball; however, it proves challenging for spinners—particularly in evening matches—due to the presence of dew. Due to the dew, the ball begins to slip between the 12th and 14th overs of the second innings, making it easier to chase down targets and difficult to bowl during the death overs. Average first-innings score: 165–178 runs.
