The fast bowlers will get less seam movement on the Sharjah Cricket Stadium surface. However, the bowlers might get some swing initially with the new ball due to the wind. The track has a steady pace, but its low bounce might cause problems for the South African batsmen as they are used to batting on bouncy pitches. The spinners will get a lot of turn from the deck and will try to take advantage of it in the middle overs. Since the ball will not bounce too much, the spinners will try to trouble the batsmen and target the stumps to get them out bowled and LBW.
The temperature on the day of the Afghanistan vs South Africa match is expected to be around 31°C, with 65% humidity and 7.9 km/hr wind speed. And the visibility is 10 km. There is no chance of precipitation during the game.
