Pitch Report
In the IPL, the pitch at Dubai has been batter-friendly and this is expected to be the same in this clash between Pakistan vs Australia. If dew does come into play, bowling second could be tricky and hence, the captain winning the toss needs to make a decision. Pacers might just get some help towards the match’s latter half, but the onus to control the pace of the game in the middle overs will lie with the spinners.
