Pitch Report
The pitch at Dubai has been batter-friendly and it has also assisted the seamers and the slower bowlers in the middle overs. Chasing has been the preferred option and hence, the captain winning the toss is expected to bowl first. Pacers might just get some help towards the match’s latter half, but the skill to control the pace of the game in the middle overs will depend with the spinners.
