PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It would be a warm and humid afternoon in Dubai, and the wicket will be dual-paced, as we have seen in the last few games where batsmen have struggled to score quickly. Spinners have done well in the last few games played here. A score of 160 runs or more would be good on this surface.
SDA vs BHR Pitch Report
ICC Academy Ground, Dubai, has short boundaries around the square region, making run-scoring easy for batsmen. The wicket is flat, and the ball comes to the bat nicely. There isn't much on this track for the fast bowlers, but spinners have done well as they can turn the ball.
Toss: To Bowl
The team batting first has won only a few games at this venue in the last two years. Toss often decides the game at this venue, and defending scores have been challenging. The side winning the toss here would have no hesitation in bowing first.
SDA vs BHR
Winning Prediction
Bahrain did well with the ball in the last game, but the batting lineup has struggled in the last two games. They need to get their acts together with the bat. Saudi Arabia was brilliant with the bat in the last game, and the team will be confident. We expect a close contest, but Saudi Arabia will be the favorite.
