Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The Dubai International Stadium pitch offered a balanced competition this season between batting and bowling. Fast bowlers can find help in the early movement of the new ball, which poses challenges for batters in the initial overs. However, as the match progresses, the surface evens out, allowing for smoother stroke play.
