Dubai International Cricket Stadium: Pitch Report

The pitch at Dubai International Cricket Stadium offers early assistance to fast bowlers, with some seam movement in the initial overs with the new ball.

However, as the match progresses, batting conditions generally improve. Spinners may come into play in the middle overs, especially if the surface slows down.

Dew plays a crucial role in night matches. This can influence teams' decisions at the toss. Captains may prefer to bowl first as the dew can make batting much easier under lights and reduce the effectiveness of spinners in the second innings.
