Pitch Report
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium offers a balanced surface, with something in it for both batters and bowlers. While pacers can extract some early movement, the pitch tends to favor spinners as the game progresses. Batting becomes easier under lights, so chasing is usually the preferred option here. A total of 170+ will be competitive.

The weather in Dubai is expected to be clear with no chances of rain. The temperature will hover around 25°C, with moderate humidity, creating ideal conditions for cricket.
