League: IPL
The third match of the Women’s T20I Quadrangular Series 2024 will be played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on April 17th. The United Arab Emirates Women (UAE-W) will face the United States Women (USA-W). Unfortunately, the first two matches of the series were abandoned due to unforeseen circumstances.
The Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium presents a balanced challenge for both batters and bowlers. While it can be a demanding surface for batters early on, the pitch settles as the innings progress, offering opportunities for stroke-makers later in the game. Both spin and pace bowlers find assistance here. This is reflected in captains’ strategies, with many opting to bowl first to capitalize on the initial conditions and potentially set a good total.
