PAK vs AUS 1st ODI Live Updates and Score: Pitch Report
The Rawalpindi surface is expected to be a good batting wicket, with the ball coming nicely onto the bat. However, this pitch is slightly drier than usual, which could provide some grip and assistance for spinners, especially in the first innings. Fast bowlers are likely to find success by hitting back-of-a-length areas rather than bowling too full, as the pitch may offer slightly less pace and bounce than a typical Rawalpindi track. Chasing teams have enjoyed success at this venue, winning four of the last five ODIs, with the evening conditions helping the ball skid on better under lights. Overall, it looks like a high-quality ODI surface that should produce a good contest between bat and ball.
