Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium provides a well-balanced competition between batsmen and bowlers. Fast bowlers tend to benefit from a prominent swing, especially in the early stages of the game, and are likely to make the most of the new ball’s movement. This phase is often important for the bowling side as the conditions favor seamers who can swing and bounce.
However, once the ball loses its luster and the early overs go, the surface starts to play in the batsmen’s favour. The even nature of the pitch, combined with less assistance for the bowlers as the game progresses, gives the batsmen more confidence to play their shots.
