RP vs IU: Gaddafi Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore has been one of the best batting surfaces in PSL 2026. The flat nature of the wicket allows batters to play freely, while short boundaries make it easier to score big runs. Pacers get some movement early on, and spinners can find slight grip in the middle overs, but overall it is a high-scoring venue where chasing becomes easier under lights due to dew.
- Average 1st Innings Score: 185
- Target Score (1st Innings): 190–200+
- Best Suited For: Batters and chasing teams
- Spin Support: Average turn, useful in middle overs
