Pitch Report
The Rawalpindi pitch offers pace and bounce, especially early in the match. Fast bowlers will enjoy the new ball, but batters who take time early on can score big later. Spinners won’t get much help, but clever bowling can still work. Teams winning the toss usually prefer bowling first here, as chasing has worked better. The average first-innings score is 164, and more matches are won while chasing.
