PAK vs SA: Pitch Report

The wicket in Rawalpindi is expected to be flat, and we might see a good score here. In the last few years, the pitch has flattened out, and bowlers have found it hard to bowl here. During the evening games, there has been dew as well, which can make it tough to execute bowling plans in the final overs. Hence, chasing can be a good option.
