Cricket grounds in U.A.E.
The 4 grounds listed in U.A.E. average 64.5 m straight and 63.0 m square, enclosing a mean playing area of 12,774 m² — 8% below the global mean of 13,957 m².
The largest is Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi (73 × 65 m); the smallest is Al Zorah Cricket Stadium in Ajman (63 × 59 m).
Six-hitting difficulty across these grounds averages 32/100 against a global 40, so sixes are easier to clear here than at the average ground on the site.

Two kinds of figure in this table. 3 of these 4 grounds were measured here from satellite imagery; the other 1 are figures published by the ground or its governing body.
The two are not measured to quite the same edge of the field, so a satellite-measured ground and a published one can look closer in size than they really are. Comparing grounds of the same kind is sound. Comparing across the two is not, until every ground has been re-measured on one basis — work that is under way.
