Capacity
I’m a huge cricket fan and always love to watch matches but somehow worried about capacity. So the stadium’s capacity is 3,000 people. The seats are limited, so you have to hurry up to reserve the spot.
Pitch Report
Al Amerat stadium has a pretty ample and flat pitch offering support to both batters and bowlers. Choosing to bat in the second innings would be good.
