SA vs UAE Pitch Report

The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium appeared a little two-paced in the Netherlands vs Namibia game on Tuesday, but that was a morning game, and this is an evening game, so expect a lot of swing for the fast bowlers early on, and spinners will have to hold on to their accuracy lines and lengths.
