The side batting first would need 200 runs on the board. KRK vs LHQ Pitch Report National Stadium Karachi is known for being a batsman’s paradise. The outfield is quick, which allows for easy run-scoring for the batsmen. Bowlers, especially the fast bowlers, have always found it challenging to bowl here. It is a good venue for the spinners, as the ball occasionally takes sharp turns. Toss: To Bowl Defending scores is a massive challenge in Karachi.
