Mr. Glass
If teams don't lose many wickets in the first 10 overs, they should definitely get 300+ easily. Should look out for those few tracks that turn a lot though.

SL pitches going to offer some seam this time. Matches in SL will be pace dominated, unless you are **** against spin.

Mr. Glass
Without the minnow games, 4 high profile games happen in SL out of 12.

NZ Vs PAK
SL Vs PAK
SL Vs AUS
AUS Vs PAK

The rest of the games should be batsmen dominated unless the pitch is turning imo.

I could see the Pakistan batting lineup getting owned, especially if they have to chase under lights. Toss often plays a big role in D/N matches in SL.

But having Aus and Pak in the same group as SL and offering seaming conditions doesn't sound like a great idea.

So if Migara is right, Pakistan have a good chance to get through to the QFs then?
They should qualify for the QF regardless of the state of the pitches unless they lose to Zim, Can, or Kenya (which can happen to Pak mind you) the chances of which are low.

Pak batting can get owned regardless of the pitch conditions but Pak bowling (despite being weak by its own standards) is still stronger than most teams. In any case Pak usually depends on its bowlers to win the matches. The batsmen are expected to screw up.

I reckon their will be enough **** slow/spin bowling from part timers to see it be very even statistically.

Quicks will probably end up having taken the most wickets, bowling early doors at new batsmen with the new bal, and towards the death when teams are taking powerplays and trying to go large. b

The role of the spinners/middle overs bowlers are going to be vital; they need to be able to buy some wickets between the 18-38 period, and not allow teams to load up on the last 12 overs with wickets and a powerplay in hand. It's why the teams with the best spin options will probably be favoured for the WC.

With Pathans, Rainas etc playing, I would think it's the other way around.

The ball won't get above waist height anyway. And Pathan has learnt to block short balls and go after balls pitched in his favoured area.
