NZ vs PAK: Karachi Pitch Report
The pitch at the National Stadium is known for being fair to both batters and bowlers. Fast bowlers can take advantage of movement and bounce during the first powerplay to get wickets. While the pitch is balanced, teams chasing have a slight edge, hence the captain winning the toss would prefer to bowl first.
