(Last 10 match)

The surface at Gaddafi Stadium traditionally offers good bounce and carry early on, favoring batters in the powerplay. However, as the match progresses, the pitch tends to slow down, which brings spinners into play during the middle overs. Teams batting first have had a slight advantage at this venue, with totals in the range of 170-185 often proving competitive. Dew could play a role in the second innings, which might influence captains to opt for bowling first. Overall, the pitch is expected to offer a balanced contest between bat and ball, making toss decisions and in-game strategies all the more crucial.
