The ground in Abu Dhabi is one of the biggest Stadiums in UAE and teams have scored decent totals on this ground. However, with long boundaries and temperatures in the mid-30s, fitness levels of the players will be tested. Dew factor will also play a huge part in this game. In six games in Abu Dhabi, teams batting first have won three while chasing sides have also won the same amount.

Though Mumbai have been in the better form of the two teams, Rajasthan have had the upper hand in recent meetings. In the last five games, the anagram champions have won four games with then record winners having just one victory to their name.
