The dew factor will go out of the window but the searing heat will be an issue when Royal Challengers Bangalore take on Rajasthan Royals in the first of the Indian Premier League double-headers in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.
Having played their first two games at Sharjah, the smallest of the three venues, Royals — as Steve Smith admitted — could not quite adapt to the conditions and ground dimensions in Dubai in the game against Kolkata Knight Riders.
The ground in Abu Dhabi too is on the bigger side and Royals’ experience of playing in Dubai will help them take more informed decisions.
Indeed, RCB will also be making their first appearance at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium.
