The teams arrived in Rawalpindi locked at 1-1 after trading wins in Multan and will go head to head over the next five days looking to score a knockout blow.

But there was no hint of growing pressure as the tourists kicked off their final practice session with a raucous six-hitting competition on the outfield.
