Zayed Cricket Stadium guide
Zayed Cricket Stadium is ADKR’s home and one of three ILT20 venues. It holds about 20,000 fans and has the biggest outfield of the three grounds. Its slower pitches suit spinners, which plays to the Knight Riders’ strength with Narine, Qais Ahmad and Ajay Kumar.
The stadium also hosts Qualifier 1 on 16 December, so ADKR fans could see a playoff at home if the team finishes in the top two.
