Pitch Report

The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium is traditionally a batting haven where pacers struggle and spinners need to be disciplined as the pitch provides little assistance to bowlers. Batters can expect to compile big scores, while bowlers will have to bowl tight lines and lengths to take wickets on this flat batting track. The team that wins the toss would look to bat first.
