MUL vs PES today match pitch report
The Multan Cricket Stadium has hosted a couple of matches so far in the PSL 2023, and it is all set to host its 3rd match of the tournament. As per the results of both matches, the pitch behaved drastically differently in those two matches, but it is not exactly the case.
The pitch is excellent for batting, and there is an even bounce on the track that will be loved by the batters. However, it has been seen that the pacers are able to get some movement in the initial overs. Quetta Gladiators got out for just 110 runs in the last match, but there were no visible demons. On the same track, Multan chased the total in just 13.3 overs with 9 wickets to spare.
The quick pacers can generate some help from the wicket, but this is an excellent batting track overall, and we can expect a high-scoring match. Both captains may opt to bowl after winning the toss as the dew factor can play an important part in this match.
