Pitch Report according to previous Records:
Sheikh Zayed Stadium should have fair assistance for both batters and bowlers. Spinners may also come into play as the ball gets old in the middle overs, with them being able to extract whatever spin is available in the wicket, given that dew doesn't hamper the conditions.
Official Live Pitch Report:
Russell Arnold and Ravi Shastri: It looks like a good pitch where a few balls will race to the fence like a tracer bullet. It is important to make the most of the powerplay, as the pitch might slow down a bit after. 160-165 would be a good total here, but teams should try to get an extra 10-15 runs towards the death. Important to pace yourself on this pitch. The pitch will turn but we're not expecting too much turn on this surface.
