ADKR vs SWR Pitch Report & Weather update for Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi
Pitch Report: The surface at Sheikh Zayed Stadium traditionally plays as a flat, quick T20 wicket with good pace and bounce. It offers favourable conditions for batters, while spinners can expect only moderate assistance. Par scores typically fall within these ranges: Low: 140, Medium: 160, High: 180.
Live Weather Update: Clear skies are expected, which should aid clean stroke-making during the power play. Winds around 8.1 m/s, however, could make aerial shots slightly riskier for batters.
