Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:
The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium is known for its flat pitches, which frequently lead to high-scoring matches. These pitches typically provide good bounce, assisting fast bowlers in the initial phases of the game and offering spinners opportunities as the match progresses. Initially, batters have the upper hand, particularly during the powerplay overs, allowing them to score quickly. However, as the game unfolds, the pitch tends to slow down, favouring spinners who can exploit its variations and turn. Nonetheless, the dew factor may come into play, potentially benefiting the team batting second.
