Pakistan and South Africa will play the third match of the Pakistan ODI Tri-series at the National Stadium in Karachi. The winner of the contest will determine who will play against New Zealand in the finals of the contest. The Blackcaps defeated Pakistan by 78 runs in the opening match of the series. On the other hand, the Proteas were also defeated by New Zealand in a thrilling encounter by 6 wickets. The Blackcaps have remained unbeaten in the series so far.
The pitch at National Stadium Karachi is traditionally known for being batting-friendly, offering good bounce and carry for stroke-making. In the early stages of a match, batters find it easier to score as the surface remains true. However, as the game progresses, spinners come into play due to the pitch slowing down and offering turn. Fast bowlers can extract movement with the new ball, especially under lights in limited overs matches. The surface has historically produced high-scoring encounters but can also assist bowlers if conditions are favorable. Overall, it provides a balanced contest between bat and ball, depending on the match format and weather conditions.
