Pitch Report
The pitch in Dubai has been a tad difficult, especially for the team, batting first. The track has been kind to the chasing teams. 90 per cent of the matches in Dubai in the ongoing World Cup have been won by the team, batting second. Spinners can come lethal in the middle overs while medium pacers can make an initial impact in the game.
The team winning the toss is likely to bowl first considering the dew factor later on in the game.
Average first innings score: 128
Head-to-head
