Pitch Report

Although Muscat did see some rain the previous week, a relatively high-scoring game without any interruptions is expected at the Al Amerat Stadium. The pacers should get the ball to move around in the initial exchanges, keeping the batters on their toes. However, the spinners are likely to have a bigger say in the proceedings, with the pitch slightly on the slower side. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams likely to prefer batting first to avoid fielding in the scorching heat during the afternoon period.
