PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

There would be clear skies over Abu Dhabi. The pitch has become easier to bat on as the ball comes onto the bat nicely. Bowlers are having a difficult time here, and the side that bats first would have to keep a target score of 180 runs in mind to do well here.

MIE vs SW Pitch Report

Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, has large boundaries, but the outfield is fast, allowing batsmen to play their strokes. Fast bowlers find it challenging to bowl on this surface, but the spinners have done well here as they can turn the ball on this surface.

Toss: To Bowl

In the last three games, the side chasing the score has won. The pitch has been good to bat on where the sides have enjoyed chasing. Thus, the two skippers at the toss would not have doubts about bowling first.
