BAN vs ZIM: Pitch Report
The wicket in Abu Dhabi is on the slower side. It will be good for batting early on, but as the game goes on, the wicket will slow down. Slow bowlers will have a major role at this surface. They can extract good grip and turn from the wicket. Batting first will be ideal because batting in slow conditions in the second innings will be challenging.
