Ayub National Stadium pitch report
The pitch at the Ayub National Stadium is a slow and low-bouncing wicket. This means that the ball does not come up as high when it bounces, making it difficult for batsmen to hit the ball for four or six runs. Additionally, the slow nature of the pitch makes it difficult for bowlers to generate high speeds on the ball. This can make the pitch more conducive to spin bowlers, as the ball is likely to turn more on a slow surface.
