Gaddafi Stadium Pitch Report

The pitches at the venue are known for their flat nature, producing run-feasts. The wickets also provide good bounce, assisting the quicks early in the matches and the slower bowlers as the game progresses.

However, the wicket used in the first few games have showed that teams chasing may find it easy this season in the night games. The noon game has also seen the team chase win the match, but it was a rather low-scoring affair.
