Pitch report: Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi
The Rawalpindi surface usually starts a bit lively, giving fast bowlers some swing and seam in the opening overs. Once that early movement fades, batting becomes much smoother and the pitch starts to favour clean hitters. Spinners don’t get a lot from this ground, so they’ll depend on clever changes of pace. With dry weather and almost no dew expected, conditions should stay steady throughout the match. A competitive total here normally sits around the 165–180 range.
