Good bowlers can survive, takes another set of skill. One would say it's hell for fast bowlers, look at the record of Wasim Akram or Waqar here, they liked to bowl in these dead pitches. Takes another class itself.
Experience matters yar, Quetta has relatively fresh and inexperienced bowlers. By change of game plan I mean to say Sarfraz this time needs to think if Quetta should bat first after winning the toss. Batting first and putting up a huge score (which they can) will win them half the match. This does not take into account the dew factor.
