The pitch in Abu Dhabi has been a little difficult to bat on in the ongoing World Cup. Run-making may not be all that easy. The slower bowlers are most likely to play a massive part in the game. Chasing should be the way forward for both teams. With dew playing a part, Toss could play an important role yet again.
