Dubai International Stadium Pitch Report

The leg-side boundary at the Dubai International Stadium is shorter for right-handed batters, which may influence shot selection. The weather conditions in Dubai are ideal for cricket, with an expected temperature of around 24 degrees Celsius.

The pitch is made of Pakistan’s black soil, which is quite dry and initially offers assistance to spinners. However, as the game progresses, it tends to become better for batting. Spinners have enjoyed success on this surface, with a lower economy rate. In the last three matches, spinners have dominated, including Varun Chakravarthy, who picked up five wickets in India’s last game. In the same match, Matt Henry also claimed five wickets in the first innings.
