Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium<\/a> has been host to 28 ODI matches. And it has favoured teams batting second 15 times, while teams batting first have defended their totals on 11 occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSo a team winning the toss is most likely to bowl first. The team batting first must look to have a good total on board, possibly going for a 280-plus score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PAK vs BAN, 9th Match, CT2025: Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium Pitch Report<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The pitch at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium is known for favouring batters a lot. It won\u2019t be any different on the match day. So expect a flatter wicket with plenty of runs on offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Batters will be happy as the ball will come on the willow nicely, allowing them to go about their business. Fast bowlers will trouble batters in the initial stage with a good bounce on offer from the wicket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And spinners are likely to play a crucial role, with the surface aiding them in gripping the ball. In the previous encounter between Bangladesh and New Zealand, six of the 14 wickets fell to spinners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we may not get a complete game just like the Australia-South Africa game, which was later abandoned without a ball.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
