SA vs UAE: Ground Pitch Report
Arun Jaitley Stadium is a good venue for the batters. This is not a big ground, so the shorter boundaries will invite the batters to go big. The bounce and pace of the batters is also consistent, making it tough for the bowlers. However, spinners can be handy here, because the slower you bowl, the more difficult it will be for the batters to time the ball.
SA vs UAE Possible XIs
South Africa: Quinton de Kock (wk), Aiden Markram (c), Dewald Brevis, Ryan Rickelton, David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Corbin Bosch, Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi
UAE: Aryansh Sharma (wk), Sohaib Khan, Muhammad Waseem (c), Alishan Sharafu, Syed Haider, Harshit Kaushik, Simranjeet Singh, Haider Ali, Muhammad Arfan, Junaid Siddique, Md. Jawadullah
SA vs UAE: Player to Watch Out For
Probable Best Batter

Probable Best Bowler
Lungi Ngidi is the leading wicket-taker for South Africa and has been difficult to pick because of his slower ones. For UAE, Junaid Siddique has shown his wicket-taking strength and already picked up a fifer. He can trouble the South African batters.
