Starting on February 16th, the Abu Dhabi Friendship series will involve three T20 encounters between the United Arab Emirates and Afghanistan. All the games would happen in Abu Dhabi. On that note, here, we look at the pitch report of Sheikh Zayed Stadium and the weather conditions in Abu Dhabi for UAE vs AFG 2023.
Afghanistan is a team that has been doing well in recent times. However, the team has been inconsistent. Especially when put under pressure, the Afghans have not been able to come out with a good performance. Moreover, their habit of defeating top teams is also reducing in recent months. The team has a solid core and it is high time that they step up. Recently, the new era under Rashid Khan has started and the fans will hope that this will trigger the team to take their game to the next level. As part of this, a challenge against UAE is a good one. The visitors will be expected to win all three encounters.
