Hosts Pakistan have made it to the final of the Tri-Series. They are all set to collide against an undefeated outfit of Blackcaps, who already made it to the final by winning both their games. Pakistan went past South Africa the other night with a record win. They managed to script their name in history books with a record chase of 352 runs, their highest-ever chase in ODI cricket. That win must have given them a lot of confidence to challenge New Zealand, who have been outstanding with 2 wins from as many games in this series.
PAK vs NZ Tri-Series FINAL Pitch Conditions
From what we have seen in the last ODI played here between Pakistan and South Africa the other night, it seems like there will be much assistance for the batters as a flat wicket is expected yet again. With the rise and popularity of T20 cricket, fans want boundaries galore, and pitches in the subcontinent, especially in India and Pakistan, are tailor-made for batters. Expect yet another run-fest on 14th February in Karachi.
Speaking of the weather, there would be plenty of sunshine and temperatures hovering around 31 degrees Celsius. Chasing under lights won’t be a concern as dew is expected to arrive in the latter part of the day.
