Peshawar Zalmi vs Islamabad United outfield report
Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
Even though there won’t be a discernible drop in temperature during the game, we still anticipate that both teams will opt to bat first because the second innings will be cooler.
Lahore will get some cloud cover on Thursday night, and by the end of the day, the temperature will drop from 34 to 29 degrees.
This is an excellent hitting pitch, but the hitters can still be threatened by the knowledgeable and talented bowlers. At least 195 will be a par total in the first innings of this Lahore match.
