Pakistan vs South Africa 2021, 1st Test: Pitch Report

National Stadium (Karachi) will host this Test match between Pakistan and South Africa. After 2009, this stadium hosted only one Test, which was between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in December 2019, where Pakistan won by 263 runs.

Talking about the nature of the pitch in the recent domestic season, it is the good pitch for the batsmen. However, spinners can get better benefit from the pitch in the late moment of the upcoming Test match, generally the late day four or complete fifth day.

So, the first batting can be a good option at this venue.
