AUS vs SA Match 7 Details:

Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:

The surface in Rawalpindi is reportedly more pacy than the earlier pitches, which were on the slower side. It is believed that the wicket will help the seamers, who may receive additional bounce in the early going. However, the hitters have plenty of chances to score runs thanks to the pitch. At this location, some large totals have been chased, which could lead to captains winning the toss and bowling first.

Weather Report:

Ahead of the match between Australia and South Africa, the weather report will be a major concern for both countries. Rain is expected to fall all day in Rawalpindi on the day of the match, according to the report. Therefore, there's a significant risk that rain or a wet outfield will cause the game to start later than planned.
