The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium pitch generally offers excellent batting conditions. Fast bowlers will hardly get any significant seam movement on this pitch. Unlike Lahore, where pacers got a bit of spongy bounce, the pace and bounce in Rawalpindi are most likely to be similar, which will help in stroke play.
Meanwhile, spinners might get some turn from the pitch on this ground. Still, the pitch is unlikely to slow down over time. Also, since teams chasing targets have won more matches than teams setting targets, the team winning the toss may opt to bowl first.
The temperature on the day of the Australia vs South Africa match at Rawalpindi, Pakistan on Tuesday, 25th February 2025 is expected to be around 12°C with 87% humidity and 2.9 km/hr wind speed. And the visibility is 10 km. There is a 5% chance of precipitation during the game.
