UAE vs West Indies Match Toss Prediction

Sharjah ground pitch has a dusty surface so batsmen mostly do not get the proper bounce to play the lofted shot. Initially it helps the batsmen but after a few overs it becomes more dry and it favors spin bowlers. With the cracks spinners will get more help from the wicket. Team winning the toss may like to bat first to take advantage of initial conditions that are helpful in putting a challenging total on the board.

Weather Report

It is expected to be a hot day in Sharjah on 5th June as temperature may be around 38 degree celsius where humidity will be 36%. Wind will blow with the speed of 20 KMPH. No rain prediction for this game. .
