Pitch Condition:
UAE lasted 31.3 overs against India three days ago on this ground. And the curator had expected a bit more out of that pitch. This one does not appear as dry as the earlier one. It had plenty of grass a couple of days before the match, but that has progressively been shaved off. There should be some pace and bounce in it. Maximum temperature is forecast to be in the early 30s.
