Al Amerat Cricket Ground Pitch Report 

The surface at Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Oman will initially offer favourable batting conditions, with the top-order batters enjoying the track's pace and bounce to score runs. However, it has been a tricky venue to score against the old ball, as the spinners have found enough grip and turn in the middle overs. 

From the seamers' perspective, hitting the hard length and varying the pace will be beneficial, as such kind of deliveries will be hard to put away. Anything around 175 will be a par score at this venue. Considering the track doesn't deteriorate with time, the toss-winning side might opt to bowl first.
