Pitch Report - The pitch of the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium is considered to be balanced, where both batsmen and bowlers get equal opportunities. In the initial overs, the fast bowlers get help from the bounce and movement of the pitch, which makes it difficult for the batsmen to score runs. But as the ball gets older, the batsmen start settling on the pitch and are able to play great shots. Spin bowlers also prove to be effective on this pitch, especially in the middle overs of the match. When the pitch slows down a bit, spinners are successful in tying down the batters.
