How UAE conditions suit him
Spinners usually do well in the UAE. Sharjah in particular has slow, dry pitches that grip and turn, and teams tend to bowl a lot of spin there. Night games can bring dew, which makes the ball harder to grip in the second innings, so his best work may come when his side bowls first.
