Rawalpindi Pitch Report
Like most Pakistani surfaces, the cricket stadium in Rawalpindi has flat wickets. We might see moisture and swing early on because the pitch will be covered and it has been raining in Rawalpindi for a few days.
The pitch has some nice bounce, but it gets easier to bat on as the inning progresses. The spinners could receive some assistance later in the innings, but Pindi’s fields are known for high-scoring matches.
