PSZ vs RWP Pitch Report
This upcoming match will also be played at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. The pitch has served as a good pitch for batting, and the team batting first has often had the upper hand. The surface provides somewhat uniform bounce, and hence, it helps batsmen to perform a wide range of shots.
Spinners don’t get much help on such tracks; However, the seamers often have the advantage, especially at the beginning of the innings. This ground remains one of the highest scoring grounds in Pakistan. Once again, they will look to take early advantage by scoring some early runs on the board.

The match between Peshawar Zalmi and Rawalpindi Pindies will be played at the Great Desert City Stadium, Lahore. Since it will be a day game, the scorching heat of the sun will affect the match as well as the pitch to a great extent.
