Pakistan Board President's XI v India - 4 day First Class match 2016 - Karachi - Match Preview

Pitch: 60 - A fast paced wicket, especially on the first day and that will please the quickies. The batsmen will appreciate the ball coming quickly onto the bat too, so this should be a good game of cricket. Later in the match the pitch may quieten down a bit but the bounce will always be lively and there is a possibility that the spinners, especially wrist spinners will also get into the act on the final day.

Day 1 Weather: 2 - Hot and sunny

Day 1 starting pitch: 7A - Fast paced wicket

Pakistan Board President's XI features a number players in contention for the Test series, and this is an important game for them to show their skills.
India are not full strength, having left out Ashwin and Rahane, though the team looks strong it should be an interesting game.
With the pitch set to heavily favour spin late in the match it becomes an important toss.
