Weather Report

Abu Dhabi is expected to be sunny and warm for this day match. Since the game starts at 14:00 local time, the dew factor will not play a significant role, especially in the first innings. The conditions will be dry, favoring batters initially, but the heat might assist spinners as the game progresses. There is zero rain probability.

Pitch Report & Venue Stats

The surface at Zayed Cricket Stadium is historically balanced but has slightly favored the England Lions batters in this series. The average score in the last 5 matches is 159 runs, suggesting a contest where 160-170 is par. Interestingly, the wicket distribution is perfectly even, with Spinner Wickets (25) and Pacer Wickets (25) being identical in recent games.

Fantasy Takeaway: Focus on all rounders who bowl in the middle overs and top order batters. The pitch does not heavily favor one bowling type over the other.
