The ECB Blues will play against Abu Dhabi, who are pegged at the bottom of the points table. ECB Blues were sitting comfortably in second place in the points table at the moment, with 12 points in their bag, thanks to their 6 wins in 8 matches and a net run rate of 1,061.
Abu Dhabi has lost 6 of their 8 games, with no outcome for the remaining two. The ECB Blues have a net run rate of -2,389 with zero points, the only hope for them being a series is keep winning the remaining match. But in this game, having a start to that series of wins would be very hard given the form in which their opponents are.
Weather
The sky will be sunny and As there will be no cloud cover whatsoever, thus the zero chance of rainfall, things look positive in terms of weather conditions. The temperature would be approximately 25 degrees Celsius.
Pitch
The pitch in Dubai’s Emirates D20 is helpful for both batsmen and bowlers. The previous games at this venue have seen fair contests between bat and ball, and in this match, the same trend is expected to continue.
