The pitch of Dubai International Cricket Stadium is considered balanced, where both batsmen and bowlers get opportunities. This pitch usually gets good pace and bounce, which helps the batsmen, but due to the large boundaries, it is not easy to hit sixes. As the match progresses, the pitch can slow down, which benefits the spin bowlers, especially in the middle overs. The average first innings score here has been around 220.
