In preparation for the 3rd Test against England, Pakistan is employing an innovative strategy at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The team is using large windbreaks, oversized fans, and patio heaters to create a spin-friendly pitch. These tools are strategically utilized to dry out the pitch and alter the playing conditions to benefit Pakistan’s spin bowlers, who played a crucial role in their victory in the previous match.
The use of fans and heaters is specifically aimed at deteriorating the pitch by heating the air and promoting proper air circulation. This tactic is designed to replicate the pitch conditions that contributed to Pakistan’s win in the second Test, thereby giving them an advantage in the upcoming match.
