Ground: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi

Pitch Report: As seen in the previous game at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, there was enough assistance both for the batters and bowlers throughout the match. Both the spinners and fast bowlers have extracted enough from this track in the recently concluded Indian Premier League, but the conditions are expected to be better for batting. However, the captain winning the toss should look to bowl first as it is an afternoon fixture and dew factor will certainly come into play.

Toss Update: Afghanistan won the toss and opted to bat first.
