Dubai Pitch Report

The pitch at the Dubai International Stadium is generally helpful for fast bowlers. The pitch favors fast bowlers like Shami, who bowl on the seam and can generate movement. The Bengal pacer's variety will come in handy throughout the tournament. Given the surface that helps spinners in the latter half of the match, the Indian team will probably field three spinners and two fast bowlers in the form of Shami and Arshdeep.

Bangladesh team will have to be cautious of India on this ground, because the Indian team has a very good record in the ODI format at the Dubai Stadium. Team India has not lost a single ODI match on this ground so far. These figures can increase the headache for other teams including Pakistan apart from Bangladesh.

Indian team has played a total of 6 ODI matches at the Dubai Stadium so far, out of which it has won 5. One match against Afghanistan was a tie. On this ground, the Indian team has defeated Pakistan and Bangladesh 2-2 times in ODIs. Defeated Hong Kong once. The Indian team played all these 6 ODI matches during the Asia Cup in September 2018. Then it won the title by defeating Bangladesh in the final.
