The surface at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground (Ministry Turf 1) is known for its sporting balance, assisting both batters and bowlers. Early on, pacers can find movement off the pitch, particularly under warm afternoon conditions. As the game progresses, batters will benefit from the even bounce, making stroke play more effective. Spinners could play a crucial role in the middle overs, exploiting any rough patches and slowing the run rate. Teams winning the toss may prefer to bat first, aiming for a total around 160-175, which is often competitive on this ground.
