Karachi’s national stadium is a batters’ paradise, and both sets of batters will enjoy their time batting on this very track. This stadium last hosted a T20I match in December 2021, and a fresh pitch is expected for the 1st T20I between England and Pakistan.

The outfield of this ground is quite fast, and it will be very difficult for the fielders to stop the ball from reaching the boundary ropes. This ground’s boundaries are also not that big, and the batters can easily clear the fences. There are some incredible set of batters in both sides.

A total of 5 T20Is have been played at this very ground, where four games have been won by the teams batting first. The average 1st innings T20I score at this venue is 189 runs. In the last 3-match T20I series between Pakistan and West Indies, the average 1st innings score was 193 runs.
