Pitch Report
The home side has announced their playing XI two days ahead of the game. They are fielding four fast bowlers and a part-time spinner. Expect a typical Rawalpindi surface that has assisted pace bowlers in domestic cricket. For the first time in many years, the surface won’t be a flat wicket, which was the case in 2022 (Against Australia and England).
