PAK vs SA Pitch Report of Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium:
The wicket for the second Test in Rawalpindi is expected to be on the drier side, like it was during the first Test between Pakistan and South Africa.
The spinners will have a vital role to play from the first day of the match, with the ball predicted to turn from an hour before lunch.
The pitch being dry would also mean that it will aid reverse swing for the fast bowlers once the ball gets old, preferably after the 50-over mark.
Before reverse swing comes into play, the pacers will look to make full use of the cooler conditions in the first hour of play.
Spinners, as mentioned above, will look to extract the turn that will be available on the surface.
For that to happen, they will have to pitch the ball in the right areas and attack the stumps, something which the South African spinners failed to do in the initial part of day one of the last match
If the spinners can keep the stumps in play and let the pitch do the rest, it will increase their chances of picking wickets at regular intervals, owing to the amount of help which the wicket will offer.
As far as the batters are concerned, they should trust their defense and play the line of the ball rather than what it will do after pitching, as the bowler himself might not know the same.
Both teams have some quality spinners as well as fast bowlers at their disposal, and would back them to have a good outing in this particular match.
When it comes to the batting, Pakistan, being the home team, might again pip the South African batting lineup due to the experience or the lack of it of South African batters in playing in spin-friendly conditions.
As was the case in the previous match, the toss will play a crucial role in the game as well, and the team that wins it should opt to bat and put a score of 350-400 runs on the board.
Conclusion
Pakistan would aim to win the final game of the two-match Test series against South Africa and claim 100% points to consolidate their position in the World Test Championship points table
The visitors, South Africa, on the other hand, would want to open their account in the World Test Championship courtesy of a win in the upcoming PAK vs SA match and level the series by doing so.
