Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at Dubai International Cricket Stadium offers a well-balanced contest between batters and bowlers. Fast bowlers, in particular, benefit from noticeable swing in the early stages, making the new ball’s movement a crucial factor. This period often proves decisive for the bowling side, as seamers can exploit both swing and bounce effectively.
However, as the ball loses its shine and the initial overs pass, the conditions shift in favor of the batters. The pitch’s even nature and diminishing assistance for bowlers allow batters to play their shots more freely as the game progresses.
