The pitch of the Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Oman is known for favouring the bowlers [mostly pacers] in the first half of the game. The average score here has only been 82; there’ll be a bit of assistance for the batters in the second innings. So, the toss-winning skipper might look ahead to bowl first here considering the conditions.
