PITCH CONDITIONS AND HEAD-TO-HEAD
PITCH:
The Abu Dhabi pitch has offered help for both seamers and spinners. Scores will get as high as one hundred sixty and are as low as 98-110. It depends upon the standard of the batting and six-hitting doesn’t look easy with big boundaries. Seamers like Anrich Nortje will fancy a small amount of movement whereas Taskin and Shoriful will extract some purchase too. It’s also dependent upon if a grassy or brownish tinge will be laid on the day. Overall, batting hasn’t been that straightforward on the wicket and you’ll expect a tricky time for batters.
