Al Amerat Cricket Ground Pitch Report:
The pitch is expected to be a batter-friendly surface, with high scores likely. However, spinners will come into play as the match progresses, especially in the middle overs. Seamers may get early assistance with swing in the first few overs, but as the ball loses movement, they will need to adjust their line and lengths to be effective.
