Average Turn
Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium has a flat track and a fast outfield. It is a tough venue for the fast bowlers as the wicket doesn't aid them. Batsmen can score runs easily on this surface and play on the up. Spinners get good rewards from the surface as the ball grips the surface and turns sharply.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
Rawalpindi witnessed high-scoring matches last season, with new records being set. It is considered one of the best surfaces for batting. The average score in the last three PSL matches played at Rawalpindi is 449 runs. Expect another high-scoring encounter today, with our prediction for the total aggregate score being over 365.5 runs
Toss: To Bowl
In the past, we have seen the sides chasing the score have won most games here. The wicket is a belter, making it difficult to defend scores on this surface. The side that wins the toss would like to take advantage of this by opting to bowl first.

Winning Prediction
Islamabad United are struggling, and the bowling attack has been inconsistent this season. They will face a strong batting lineup and must do well to have a chance in this game. Peshawar Zalmi has its top order in good form and depth in the bowling attack, making them favorites.
