Pitch Report
The stadium in Rawalpindi is known for balanced pitches, providing opportunities for both batters and spin bowlers. The new ball favours batters, especially during the powerplay overs. However, as the match progresses and the pitch slows down, the track favours spinners who can exploit the conditions with their variations and turn. Nevertheless, the chasing team is likely to find success at this stadium.
