Weather Report

We are likely to get clear skies for this game in Abu Dhabi. 

Pitch Report

This game will be played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Although it is a big ground, you are going to get a quick outfield. This means there will be a lot of boundaries scored on this ground. The conditions on offer at this venue are challenging for the quick bowlers with almost non-existent help from the track. Spinners have done a better job on the track with the ball gripping and turning on the surfaces. However, the pitch looks to have slowed down a bit over the last few days of the wear. The team batting first in the match will be looking to target a score of 130 runs to feel safe.

Both these teams have done a terrific job in this year's Abu Dhabi T10 League competition. You can expect a tight game of cricket today. The Team Abu Dhabi has a good batting line-up but it lacks variety and this can prove to be a challenge for the team.
