Pitch Report
In all the 4 matches, Al Amerat Cricket Ground’s pitch has been really supportive for the batsmen. Consequently, there have been many half-centuries, in all the matches of the series. The pitch doesn’t help the bowlers at all. Bowlers have to be highly skilled to contain runs. Also, three out of four matches from the series were won by the teams batting second. Thus, whichever side wins the toss, bowling first would be a smart choice.
