India vs Pakistan Asia Cup Pitch Report
The surface at Dubai International Cricket Stadium has a lot to offer to the bowlers. The pacers find seam movement at the start of the innings and tend to pick wickets. Later the spinners receive a good amount of spin off the surface and trouble the batters. The slow-paced nature of the pitch aids the spinners.
Not many high-scoring matches are generally seen in Dubai, however, it is seen that the pitch gets easier to bat towards the end. Anything around 160-170 would be a good total here. Any side after winning the toss would be looking to bowl first and make the most out of the pitch.
