ICC Academy Ground No.2 Pitch Report:
The ICC Academy Ground No. 2 in Dubai is renowned for its batting-friendly pitch, especially during the initial phases of the match where the conditions are particularly conducive to aggressive batting, Nevertheless, as the game progresses, a noticeable transformation occurs in the pitch dynamics and the surface tends to lose some of its initial pace, making it less accommodating for the aggressive batting style. In light of these changes, opting to bat first emerges as a strategic preference at this venue.
