Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium’s pitch for the Pakistan T20I Tri-Series 2025 final offers a batting-friendly surface with true pace, bounce, and a quick outfield, ideal for high scores around 170-180. Recent tri-series matches saw first innings averages near 194, favoring aggressive strokeplay early on, though pacers like Shaheen Afridi and Chameera can extract seam movement and swing with the new ball. Spinners such as Wanindu Hasaranga and Abrar may find grip on rough patches later, especially under lights, while dew could ease chasing in the second innings—teams bowling first have won most recent T20s here.
