Pakistan use mega fans, heaters in bizarre pitch tactics

The third and final Test between Pakistan and England is to be played at Rawalpindi.

The three-match Test series between Pakistan and England is balanced, as both sides have won one match. The decider will be played at Rawalpindi on October 24.

While England won the first Test at their mercy with just more than 150 runs deficit, despite suffering more than 550 runs in their first innings, Pakistan made a roaring comeback in the second Test on the same Multan pitch.

The 22-yard surface in the second Test offered way more turns, and England batters had no answers to questions Sajid Khan and Noman Ali asked.

Now, it seems that Pakistan has finally found a way to beat England at home. Going by the viral images on the internet, the Pakistan management has also opted for a turning track for the third and final Test.

Viral images on X (formerly Twitter), show Pakistan management using six patio heaters, two industrial fans and two giant windbreaks.

It all is being done to turn the Rawalpindi pitch into the same raging turner that helped them run all over England in Multan.

Earlier, Pakistan management used fans to speed up the deterioration of the Multan pitch for the second Test. This was done to produce a surface that would provide at least some help to their spinners.
