About ODI cricket
One-Day Internationals are the 50-over format that produced the World Cup and shaped a generation of limited-overs cricket. Each side bats once with bowlers limited to 10 overs, rewarding tempo control, partnership-building and tactical fielding restrictions across the powerplay phases.
Venue
Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi hosts this match. The pitch, the size of the boundaries and the weather on the day all play a part in team selection and in what the captain chooses at the toss.
