The Rawalpindi pitch, which was used for the first Test between Pakistan and Australia, was on Thursday rated as "below average" by the ICC match referee Ranjan Madugalle and received one demerit point under the ICC's Pitch and Outfield Monitoring Process.

The lifeless pitch in Rawalpindi became a talking point after only 14 wickets fell across five days and across three innings while 1187 runs were scored in total as the first Test ended in a dull draw. Pakistan, who batted for 162 overs in the first innings, posted 476/4 declared. Australia faced 140.1 overs for their 459 while Pakistan finished with 252/0 in 77 overs in their second essay.
