Let’s have a look at the pitch and how the teams will Perform.
The Pitch at Rawalpindi is very dry and flat so the ball was not bouncing and due to that the batsman was able to score runs easily the openers were not able to score because the new ball used to bounce that was the reason the top order did not perform well.
Due to the cloudy weather at the venue, fast bowlers will get a swing, seam movement, and extra bounce in the second test after the toss we can predict who will bat and who will decide to bowl.
It means for the first two days it gets challenging for the batsman if the sun comes out then the pitch can get dry and the 1 inning can finish early after 3 days the pitch can help batters.
In Pakistan, the pitches usually offer slow turns for spinners, unlike the sharp turns seen in India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh this might happen if the pitch gets dry.
