Pitch Report

The surface at Dubai International Cricket Stadium generally offers a balanced contest between bat and ball. With an average first-innings score of around 220 runs, teams need to assess conditions carefully before setting a target. Pacers get some early assistance with swing and seam movement, while spinners come into play in the middle overs as the surface tends to slow down. Dew is a significant factor in night matches, often making chasing the preferred option. Captains winning the toss usually opt to bowl first, expecting the conditions to become more favorable for batting later in the game.
