Pitch Conditions:
Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi
In the IPL matches, this wicket was neutral with pacers and batsmen getting the somewhat extra advantage. However, in the recent Afghanistan vs Zimbabwe series this wicket was batting friendly.
These are the initial matches so batsmen are expected to get the extra advantage here. Batting should be easy in the 2nd half as due factor can play an important role. We can expect scores in the range of 170-190. Pace bowlers can get some movement in the initial overs.
