Sheikh Zayed Stadium Pitch Report:

The pitch at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi is well-known for being bowler-friendly, providing assistance to both spinners and fast bowlers. As the match goes on, the pitch tends to slow down, making it tough for batters to adjust. This unpredictability often disrupts their rhythm, leading to mistimed shots and restricting their ability to score freely. The slowing nature of the wicket requires constant adaptation, making it challenging for batters to maintain a steady scoring rate.
