The Multan Cricket Stadium boasts a pitch that largely favors batsmen. Renowned for its conducive high-scoring conditions, the ground is expected to witness a flurry of boundary shots. Seam bowlers are unlikely to derive much assistance from the pitch, thus emphasizing the importance of accurate line and length to secure wickets. On the other hand, spinners are projected to play a subdued role on this pitch until the second innings unfolds. As the game advances and the pitch matures, spinners might uncover some assistance from the surface. Though grip might be limited, bowlers could have a brief opportunity to challenge batsmen within a constrained timeframe.
