Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The Pitch at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is a balanced surface where good competition between the bat and ball is generally seen. The pitch however does have some significant assistance for the fast bowlers. The spinners as well benefit from the surface in the middle overs. The batting gets a tad bit tougher as the game progresses, which the records of the stadium confirm as well.
The sides defending a total have had greater success in Dubai hence it would be wise to bowl first after winning the toss here. Anything around 160-170 would be a good total at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
