Average TurnRawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi is going to host the 1st Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh. Two years ago, Pakistan suffered 74-run defeat at the hands of England in a Test match played at Pindi.
Rawalpindi Cricket Ground seems to be great venue for bowling first. Six matches out of thirteen played at Pindi Stadium have been won by side bowling first.
With a green wicket prepared for the series opener, both the captains will be tempted to win the toss and bowl first.
Since being thrashed by Australia last year, Pakistan haven’t played much red-ball cricket this year. On the other hand, Bangladesh suffered whitewash at the hands of Sri Lanka earlier this year.The pressure will be on Green Shirts as Bangladesh are a decent side in the five-day format.
Therefore, the prediction is for the Shan Masood-led unit to secure a comfortable win to go 1-0 up in the two-match series.
