IND vs UAE Pitch Report

The pitch of Dubai International Cricket Stadium is considered balanced for both batsmen and bowlers. Fast bowlers dominate here, who have taken about 64% of the wickets. However, spinners also play an important role in the middle overs and curb the pace of runs.

Challenge for batsmen

The pitch helps fast bowlers in the initial overs, but once the batsmen settle down, it becomes good for stroke play. Still, it is not easy to score big here, which requires batsmen to focus. The average score of T20 matches on this ground is 144.

Easy to chase

Chasing a target is considered a safe option on the Dubai ground. Teams batting later have won 59% of the matches played here, while teams batting first have won only 40% of the matches. This is because the pitch becomes more stable in the second innings, making run chases easier. This is the reason why the team winning the toss can decide to bowl first.
