Pitch Report: In the past, pacers have enjoyed bowling at the Multan Cricket Stadium in Pakistan because of the seam and swing that the surface offers early in the game. The hitters, though, are more likely to control the game. Any skipper who wins the toss may choose to open the batting at the location.
