Dubai Pitch Report
Teams of India and Australia will be seen playing on the slow pitch of Dubai. Spin bowlers are getting more help on this pitch. While fast bowlers are also taking advantage of the extra speed and taking wickets. If the batsmen want to score big on this ground, then they will have to first set their eyes on the pitch and then hit big shots. Because sometimes the ball stops from the pitch and the double bounce created by the pitch troubles the batsmen.
