ADKR vs GG Pitch Report & Weather update for Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi
Pre-Toss Pitch Report
The pitch at Sheikh Zayed Stadium is traditionally spin-friendly in T20 matches. The new ball can offer some seam and swing early on, while batters can score freely once set. As the match progresses, the surface tends to slow down, bringing spinners into play with noticeable grip and turn. Par scores at this venue generally range around 140 for a low total, 160 for a competitive score, and 180 as a strong total.
Weather Prediction
Weather conditions are expected to be mostly cloudy, with scattered clouds around the ground. The cloud cover may assist a bit of early movement for the seamers. Winds at around 10.4 m/s could make aerial shots risky, especially for batters looking to clear the boundary.
