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 tough time here. The average first-innings score in the last 12 months is 185 runs, and the side that bats first would like to have 200 on the board.

Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, is a large ground. However, it has a quick outfield, and batters can score quick runs on this surface. Fast bowlers have struggled here as it isn’t the easiest of venues for them. Spinners do well as the ball turns sharply.

Toss: To Bowl

Teams chasing the score have won 12 out of the last 20 games at this venue. The pitch has been good to bat, and teams can easily chase big targets. Thus, the side winning the toss won’t hesitate to bowl first.
