Match Venue & Pitch Report: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi
Sheikh Zayed Stadium is recognised as a batting-friendly pitch, providing good bounce and an even pace, ideal for stroke players. The pitch generally suits teams batting first in both Tests and ODIs. However, in T20 matches, teams frequently elect to bowl first if they win the toss, as it reduces the impact of a damp ball caused by dew in the evening.
Pitch details for the T20 Asia Cup
- Average first innings score: ~145 runs
- Average second innings score: ~130runs
- The Dew factor helps chase teams
- Spin bowling is important in the middle overs
- Fast bowlers do not gain much swing due to a dry pitch
Historically, chasing teams have fared well here, winning 25 of the 47 T20Is, indicating a small advantage in the second innings. Teams may take this into account when planning for this important match in Group B.
Fantasy Cricket and Dream11 Tips for BAN vs HK
- Focus on batsmen who bat in the opening and top four positions.
- All-rounders, such as Mahedi Hasan (BAN) and Yasim Murtaza (HK), provide important points from two different aspects (batting and bowling).
- It is always best to select pace bowlers for early wickets, so include Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed.
- Spinners may be more economical in the middle overs; select spinners with low bowling economy, as they may contain runs and win wickets.
