PAK vs NZ Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium has not been a good wicket to bat on. It is slightly on the slower side. Some swing will be available in the initial overs. Post which, variations in pace will prove to be crucial. Batsmen will need to bide some time in the middle before going in for the big shots.
A score of around 130-140 runs would be a fighting total at this venue. Both the teams will be looking to field first upon winning the toss. Dew is also expected as the match progresses.
