Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium is famous as a batsman’s paradise. The surface is expected to be a hard, flat track which will provide very little initial assistance to the fast bowlers. Spinners may take brief turns as the game progresses, but overall, boundaries will be blown. The small ground dimensions combined with the quick outfield indicate that a high-scoring thriller is on the cards. Given the ease of batting in floodlights, the team winning the toss will consider chasing more.
