Karachi Conditions: What to Expect
Dono teams ne pehle Lahore mein khela tha. Karachi ki conditions alag hain — dhoop zyada hai, pitch different behave karta hai. Lahore ki raat wali pitches ke mukable mein yahan day game mein par scoring thoda mushkil ho sakta hai. United ke Chris Green ne pre-match mein kaha ke “conditions ko jaldi samajhna” aaj ki kunjee hogi. Qalandars ke Rubin Hermann ne bhi mention kiya ke international players ke liye yeh “bilkul naya challenge” hai.
Ek aur update: United ke fast bowler Mir Hamza Sajjad training mein neck pe ball lagane ke baad concussion scare se guzre the — woh ab recover kar rahe hain.
