Sheikh Zayed Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi offers a balanced contest between bat and ball, favouring pace bowlers early on due to its grass covering, which aids seam movement. As the match progresses, the surface tends to flatten, allowing batters to score more freely, particularly in the latter stages. Historically, teams batting first have found success, with an average first innings score around 100 runs. Bowlers, especially pacers, have been effective here, taking most from the total wickets. Adapting quickly to these changing conditions will be crucial for both teams in this high-stakes encounter.
