David Warner (SRH):
We will have a bowl. Wickets have been a challenge in Dubai compared to this one. Two changes for us: Thampi replaces Khaleel, we have left a roulette wheel.

It’s TOSS time, folks.
PITCH REPORT:
“The sun is up and it’s about 35 degrees right now in Abu Dhabi so it should be comfortable for the players. Today we play field number four and that means there are practically uniform boundaries on both sides of the field. The surface looks green, so it should offer something for the faster men. It’s a pitch where you’ll have to hit the deck hard, play short, and reap rewards “- Ian Bishop and Danny Morrison.
GOOD NEWS!
On Sunday, the IPL said West Indies spinner Sunil Narine may continue to bowl after he found nothing illegal in his deliveries during an assessment that was prompted by a warning on the field earlier this month. Narine’s team, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), requested evaluation after referees suspected an illegal elbow flexion in an October 10 draw against Kings XI Punjab and issued a warning. The authorization means the 32-year-old can continue bowling at this year’s tournament, which takes place in the United Arab Emirates due to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic in India.
