UAE captain Muhammad Waseem at the toss - "We are going to bowl first. Nothing special, the pitch is looking good. It will be the same in both innings. We will try to restrict them under 160. We took positive points from the last game. We have two changes."

Sharjah Pitch Report: As per the pitch report by the official broadcaster - "There was a lot of grass left on it in the previous games. It has helped the batters and the bowlers. On this pitch, there's a bit of moisture, it will offer grip, so the batters need to be careful. They need to have a conservative approach. There is no sheen on these pitches anymore. In the 90s, the faster bowlers used to enjoy the conditions in Sharjah."
