The ODIs played between August 28 and September 3 will begin at 6pm local time, and end at 1.45am the following morning. The Twenty20s that follow are set to begin at 8pm and end at 11.
The average daytime temperature in the UAE in August-September is 38-40C, while the average nighttime temperature is 26-29C.
There had been much debate over the actual make-up of the series, which is a ‘home’ series for Pakistan. The Australian Cricketers’ Association had expressed its concerns about playing ODIs in such hot weather. This had prompted the series to be changed to a six-match Twenty20 affair, which was approved by the ICC in June.
