Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium - Pitch Report
The surface at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium offered plenty of runs in the first ODI. Batters capitalised on the early movement and built solid partnerships to post 299/5. As the game progressed, the pitch flattened out, allowing stroke-makers to score freely during the middle overs.
Bowlers found some swing initially but struggled to maintain control once the ball got older. The chasing side pushed hard and nearly reached the target, showing that totals around 300 remain competitive yet chaseable. Teams will aim to bat first, post a strong total, and strike early with the new ball to stay ahead.
