Pitch Report

The pitch at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi generally offers a balanced surface, and we have seen mid-range totals at this venue in the past. However, as the competition progressed, the pitches improved, and on these pitches the captain winning the toss usually preferred to bat first. The average score in the last four matches at this venue has been 165. The dew could have a significant impact on the second innings.
