Pitch Report:
The pitch at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium is known for being batting-friendly, offering good pace and bounce that allow batters to play their shots freely. It often produces high-scoring encounters, especially in T20s.
Pacers can get some movement early on, but as the match progresses, the surface flattens out, favoring stroke play. Teams chasing usually have the advantage here, particularly in evening games where dew may come into play.
