HIS vs PAL Pitch Report

The pitch at Rahmat Wali Masroor Cricket Stadium in Khost is generally a balanced surface for first class cricket. It offers early assistance to the seamers with some bounce and carry under the dry conditions, while remaining true for batting once the ball softens. As the match progresses into the later days, the surface tends to dry out and develop cracks, bringing the spinners into play with increasing turn and variable bounce.

Toss: To Bat

The captain who win the toss would want to bat first. The Rahmat Wali Masroor Cricket Stadium in Khost will likely be at its best for batting on day 1 with the bowlers coming in clutch later in the match.
