Champions Trophy: Teams set for a pitch battle

Hindustan Times  

Mumbai: The difference in the average score batting first across Pakistan’s three Champions Trophy venues Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi is 12 runs. The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium pitch sees a lot more pace used than spin, new ball swings the most, pacers extract the most bounce off a good length and it takes the least spin. Spin-friendly Karachi Among the three venues in Pakistan, the Karachi pitch sees the most spin used compared to pace, the ball spins the most and the new ball swings the least. CricViz data of ODI cricket played in Dubai 2017 onwards featuring full member nations shows the pitch taking good turn, although the quantum of spin usage over pace is only marginally more.
