Dubai International Stadium Pitch Report
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium has a very uncanny nature. However, the surface tends to get easier to score runs on, once the night progresses. Most of the games at the venue in this tournament have seen the team batting second win the match. Since chasing hasn’t seemed to be much of a problem, the captain winning the toss must be inclined to bowl first and invite the opposition to set a target.
