Pitch Report:
Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium has produced balanced tracks with an average score of 155 runs across T20s where batters and bowlers can benefit. In the early stages of the match, the batters can use the flatness of the pitch to score quick runs. As the game progresses, the pitch tends to slow down, offering bowlers a chance to use variations and maximise the wicket. The dew factor might come into play which often helps the chasing side.
