The Men in Green are all set as Pakistan faces off against Bangladesh in the first Test of the upcoming two-match series at Rawalpindi International Stadium. Shan Masood, in charge for Pakistan, will be eager to start their Test season with a strong performance, especially after a disappointing outing in Australia where they lost 2-0 against the hosts. Pakistan, currently ranked 6th, needs to rise through the ranks to stay in contention for a spot in the World Test Championship final. On the other hand, Bangladesh aims to defy all odds, as they face an uphill battle and will need a miracle to stay in the World Test Championship race.
Rawalpindi Cricket stadium pitch report
Although we are far away and certainly not sitting in Pakistan to tell the exact condition, but wait, the images and Pakistan’s recent squad suggest that the pitch is as green as an Emerald. We can expect some spicy-paced Bowling, with the possibility of seeing Bounce, especially in the first two days. Some batters might even feel the sting of the leather.
However, if the sun comes out, the pitch should improve for batting, offering better conditions from the third day onwards. Known for flat wickets or sometimes spin-friendly tracks, like many other Asian countries, they offer sharp turns with grass on the surface. Spinners may find some Bounce, adding to the Difficulties for the Batters. It might be wiser for the team to choose to bowl first.
