BAL vs NOR, Pitch Report and Conditions
The pitch at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi will allow for good stroke play and the batters will find it easy to bat on the surface. It will not allow a lot of assistance to the bowlers and wicket taking is not going to be easy. The average 1st innings score at this venue in the last 5 matches is 158 runs. Chasing a target should be the preferred option at the venue, since the team batting first has only won 20% of its matches.
Pacers have been very successful at this venue. They have earned 73% of the total bowling fantasy points at this venue. We would suggest that you pick as many pace bowlers as possible in your team.
