Pitch Report: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi
The Sheikh Zayed Stadium has a reputation for being a very good batting pitch. And we saw the average first-innings total in recent T20S clock in at over 173+, with scores from BPL, PSL and other big leagues, which were even higher on this pitch in recent months. Batsmen are likely to score freely in the first half of their innings. As the pitch slows, bowlers (especially pacers) come to life with the bounce and carry of the surface. Spinners can economically bowl in the middle overs, and anything above 170 is considered a decent score and very competitive, which will, of course, filter through on any decisions for fantasy teams, and live betting can follow suit.
