PAK vs SL Pitch Report of Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium:
The pitch for the second ODI between Pakistan and Sri Lanka to be played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, the same venue which hosted the series opener, should be good for batting, as it was in the previous game.
The wicket in the first ODI was also conducive for fast bowling as well as a result of which the home team Pakistan ent in three specialist fast bowlers and two fast bowling all-rounders, with Mohammad Nawaz being the only specialist spinner.
It would be interesting to see if there is a change in the nature of the surface as the second game is scheduled to be played after a day's gap.
Pakistan is expected to dish out a similar wicket in the upcoming game, considering the fact that dew might play a significant role in the second innings of the match, and offering a spin-friendly track might not be a wise decision.
To add to the fact, Pakistan's bowling unit looked more well-rounded as compared to the opposition, as they had a number of options, five to be precise, to rely upon.
Sri Lanka, on the other might well rethink their bowling combination heading into the next match as it appeared they were at least one fast bowler short in the previous match.
The decision to go in with only two specialist pacers came back to haunt them in the second half of Pakistan's batting after the island nation had the 1992 ODI World Cup winners on the mat, having reduced them to 95-4.
The team that wins the toss should look to bowl first and restrict the opposition to a score of not more than 270-280 in order to increase their chances of winning.
Whereas the team that bats first should look to score 310-320 runs, considering that dew is expected to play a huge role at the backend of the second innings, as it did in the first ODI, which made things a bit difficult for the bowlers.
Conclusion
Pakistan would want to seal the ongoing ODI series against Sri Lanka courtesy of a win in the second match itself, having won the first match by a narrow margin of six runs.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, would want to make a strong comeback by winning the match in question in order to keep the series alive.
