PAK vs SL Pitch Report of Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium:
It would be interesting to see how the pitch at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, which is going to host the opening match of the ODI series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, as the home side has been dishing out spin-friendly wickets in the recent past.
The move has paid rich dividends for the Me in Green with wins in Test, T20I, and ODI series against South Africa, due to which they are expected to stick with the same strategy.
Meaning that the surface for the upcoming first ODI between Pakistan and Sri Lanka will assist the spinners, which will keep both teams in the game, as both Pakistan and Sri Lanka have some quality spinners at their disposal.
Having said that, a spin-friendly wicket does not mean that batting would be impossible. The batters will be able to score runs if they are ready to apply themselves and grind it out in the middle.
The team that bats first shouldn't loom to post a score of 310-320, which has become a norm in modern-day ODI cricket.
Instead, they should look to play ODI cricket in the traditional way, which includes giving the first half hour to the bowlers and making up for the lost time at the backend of the innings by scoring 110-120 runs in the last ten overs.
The only thing that the team batting first wouldn't wish for during the first PAK vs SL ODI match in Rawalpindi is for dew to have a huge say in the game, which will tilt the match in favour of the chasing team.
As far as the pacers are concerned, they will be entrusted to pick wickets with the new ball and make things easy for the spinners so that they can tame the charge in the middle overs.
It would be a wise decision to bat first for the team that bowls first, as batting might become easy in the second innings.
Conclusion
Pakistan would want to have a good start to the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, courtesy of a win in the first game, to build on the momentum that the team has in this format of the game.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, would want to get their rhythm, having not played any sort of competitive cricket for over a month.
