Multan Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

The Multan pitch is expected to be quite helpful for spinners in the upcoming red-ball match, leading to an exciting contest between bat and ball. With a dry surface and plenty of turn, the pitch will offer a tough time to batsmen throughout the game, creating ideal conditions for spin bowling. Although the pacers might get some initial help with the new ball, once it gets old, the pitch is expected to be predominantly spin-friendly. Overall, both teams will need to take advantage of the conditions early in the game before the pitch becomes even more conducive to turn and develops cracks as the game progresses.

Pakistan have named their Playing XI for the second test as Kashif Ali is set to make his debut.

Pakistan’s Playing XI for 2nd Test: Shan Masood (c), Muhammad Huraira, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan, Salman Ali Agha, Sajid Khan, Noman Ali, Abrar Ahmed, Kashif Ali.
