With this stadium mostly hosting matches between associate teams over the years, it isn’t a surprise that England and Bangladesh have played minimal cricket here. While England have played just one T20I in Abu Dhabi (in 2012), Bangladesh will be making their T20I here just like their T20I debut against the opposition for today.
