Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi Pitch Report

The most recent T20I clash at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi took place on September 13 during the Asia Cup, when Bangladesh faced Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka came out on top in style, chasing down a target of 139 runs with 6 wickets in hand, wrapping up the game in just 14.4 overs.

The surface at Sheikh Zayed Stadium has stayed fairly true in recent games. It offers a balanced contest, starting out friendly for batters with reliable bounce and carry. As the innings wear on, though, the pitch begins to slow down, allowing spinners to step into the spotlight and making shot-making a tougher task.

How India Defeated Pakistan on 14th September 2025

Pakistan, batting first, lost a wicket on the first ball and another on the 10th ball of the innings. Farhan fought well in the middle with 40, and a quick cameo of 33 runs off 16 balls from Shaheen Shan took Pakistan to just 127. Kuldeep Yadav(POTM) knocked 3 scalps while Bumrah and Axar got two wickets each. 

It was never going to be enough for the Indian side, and Abhishek Sharma's quick start and Tilak Verma's balanced innings put India right next to the winning shot from Surya Kumar Yadav in just 16 overs. There was no handshake after the match that sparked a debate around, but SKY made a clear statement that the win was dedicated to the Indian Armed Forces and the families affected in the Pahalgam Att*ct. 

Indian National Team Updates

As of now, all the Indian players in the squad are fit to play and selection. On team combination, with the performance this lineup is producing, there is no reason for any kind of change unless and until it is a forced one.
