The second leg of IPL 2021 will kick-off at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium with the Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians clash on the 19th of September. Dubai International Cricket Stadium is going to host a total of 13 matches of the second leg of IPL 2021 including Qualifier 1 and the Final as well. In this space, you’ll find the Pitch Report of the Dubai International Cricket Stadium for IPL 2021.

Though the overall T20 record suggests that the teams batting second have a higher rate of success in the Dubai International Stadium but in the recent past the equation has been completely opposite. The teams chasing a total have found it difficult and more often than not the batting-first teams have won here. The pitch report of the Dubai International stadium suggests that the same will happen in the second leg of IPL 2021.

Dubai Pitch Report for IPL 2021

The Pitch at the Dubai International Stadium favors the batsmen. It was seen in the last season of IPL that the teams generally are able to score good totals here. The average 1st innings score of the IPL 2020 in Dubai was 171, which is significantly high.

The spinners do get some help from the wicket in Dubai in the second innings. And that’s the reason why the average second innings score of the last 5 IPL matches played here is 144. It is generally seen here in Dubai that the Teams struggle to chase. Keeping wickets in hand until the last 5 overs is the way to go here.

Due to the hot and dry weather of Dubai, cracks develop on the pitches which mainly favors spin bowling. The fast bowlers get assistance during the initial overs. After the initial overs, the dusty and dry nature of the pitch gets uncovered and the batsmen find it easier to play their shots. Spinners go economical here but pacers usually get most of the wickets. If we look at IPL 2020 records at Dubai, the pacers took an average of 7.2 wickets per match while spinners got half of it.
