PAK vs NZ Dream11 Prediction: Pitch Report
The pitch at the Gadaffi Stadium in Lahore will be a balanced one with good help for spinners and there will be plenty of runs on offer with shorter boundaries and quick outfield. We can expect a high-scoring affair and the average score at this venue is close to 270. Spinners might not play a big role at this venue. Dew is expected to set in so both sides will prefer chasing at this venue.
Fantasy Value from Pitch Report
- Try to fit in the top 4 batters from both teams.
- You can take the risk of dropping the spin bowlers from the team bowling first.
- Death bowlers from the first innings and batters will be good C/VC options.
