Muscat Pitch report
The Muscat Cricket Ground, also known as Al Amerat stadium, has a pretty ample and flat pitch that offers support to both batters and bowlers.
The pitch has in the past favoured the teams batting second which means it gets easier to bat in the second innings. It is a high scoring ground as the ball comes nicely onto the bat and the batters will enjoy batting here.
