Toss Prediction

Both teams won the toss and fielded first in their most recent matches at Karachi’s National Stadium and they could both look to do the same at the start of this season.

A week of clear, sunny skies over Karachi will ensure the pitch is in good shape for the first game of the 2020 PSL, and conditions should be similarly warm and dry for the opening match.

Pitch Condition

The Karachi National Stadium is usually good for batting, particularly in white-ball cricket, and the hot, dry weather should ensure it plays to expectations.
