The strip at Karachi has been favourable towards the bowlers. While teams struggled to post big totals in the initial matches of the season, the surface has gotten better for batting overtime. Only on two occasions teams batting first have been able to cross the 160-run mark. Chasing teams have had an advantage at the venue, and all the five matches so far have been won by teams batting second. The captain winning the toss would be inclined to bowl first, considering the conditions and past results.
