The fourth ODI match will be played on 8th November 2013 at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi. This match is also important for both the teams as each one of them will try to win the match and move ahead to win the series of five matches as well. As the series proceeds, it becomes quite difficult to win the matches because the teams prepare a smart game plan that is difficult to understand. Without planning, it is very difficult to win any match so it is necessary that team players sit together and frame the strategies depending on their competitors.

The pitch of the Sheikh Zayed Stadium is though ideal for batting but as the game moves, the pitch tends to turn and batting becomes difficult. So the first motive of both the teams will be to win the toss and bat. This will help them to set a high score which usually becomes difficult to chase. On the other hand, the opponents will try to use their best bowlers to get quick wickets so that the team can score less runs which are easy to chase. Hence the results will depend on the conditions of the pitch and how it behaves as the game proceeds.

Every team consists of experienced players but all rounder’s can play a crucial role in the game. As they have the ability to fulfill many roles, therefore it will depend on how the captains use these players and bring a change in the game. Introducing such players in the middle of the game can be a surprise element and can create pressure on the other team as well. Hence it will be better that both the teams plan their game and work accordingly. Other updates or news on the ODI series is available on the official website so visit now.
