The match preview

UAE cricket grounds has been known for batsmen friendly wickets, but 1st ODI of this India vs Pakistan DLF CUP proved to be a total opposite case. The pitch was slow and even the out field was not up to the mark - not in terms of greenery but the ball didn't carried fastly enough to the boundary and batsmen struggled to get full value for their good shots.

You will be surprised to know that this 2nd India vs Pakistan match at Abu Dhabi ground will be played on the same pitch that was used for the first match yesterday. Generally, cricket grounds at neutral venues prepare two of three pitches and match is played on different tracks one after another, but this DLF CUP has got just one pitch and that will be used for todays ODI.AbuDhabiZayedStadium.jpg

As far as statistics go, Pakistan won their 64th match against us yesterday while India have managed only 39 one day wins till date against Pakistan in 107 matches between the two rival countries...
