PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies would be clear with odd clouds on January 28 over Abu Dhabi and we expect to see an exciting game. The track would be slow as we have seen in the recent games played here and batsmen would have to mix caution with aggression. The side batting first would need a score of around 120 runs to feel safe here.

Venue Details

Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi is one of the largest grounds in UAE but it has a quick outfield and this allows batsmen to score boundaries. It isn’t the easiest of venues for the fast bowlers while spinners have done well in the past and there is good turn on offer for them.

Toss: To Bat

In the last three editions of the tournament we have seen sides batting first winning most of the game.  It is very difficult to chase big scores in this format of the game and hence the side winning the toss would like to bat first and put up a big score on the board.
