TEAMS PREVIEW

United Arab Emirates Women Preview

Esha Rohit Oza's team must come out of their loss in the last game. It was a poor show from the senior players as they went down against Ireland Women by 6 wickets.

Esha Rohit Oza and Theertha Satish played well in the last game, and the side will expect a strong start from the pair. In the middle order, Khushi Sharma, Kavisha Egodage, and Heena Hotchandani must build partnerships as the Zimbabwean bowlers will test them.

Mary-Anne Musonda's team had a poor outing in their first game. The batting lineup folded up for only 61 runs, losing the game against Vanuatu by 6 wickets. They have an experienced team, and Mary-Anne Musonda would like to see a better show from her players in this important game.  

The side will expect a good show at the top from Sharne Mayers and Modester Mupachikwa.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

There are predictions of clear skies over Abu Dhabi April 27, and we will likely see a warm evening. The wicket shall play slow, and batters would need to adjust themselves to the pace of the wicket before making runs here. The side batting first would be happy to have 150 runs or more on the board.

UAE-W vs ZIM-W Pitch Report

Tolerance Oval, Abu Dhabi, has a flat surface, and the conditions have been excellent for batting. The outfield is fast, and this allows easy boundary scoring. Fast bowlers don’t get much assistance from the track where the ball keeps low. Spinners have enjoyed bowling in these conditions as the ball turns sharply.

Toss: To Bowl

The wicket here has always favored sides that have chased. We expect to see an excellent batting surface, and setting up a total would pose a challenge for either side. We have seen big scores being chased. Hence, the side winning the toss will likely opt for bowling first on this wicket.
