Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium has been a tough venue for batters throughout this tournament, known for its slow pitch conditions that often lead to low-scoring contests. The surface has provided significant assistance to bowlers, making it difficult for teams to post high totals. Batting first could prove advantageous, as the pitch is expected to slow down further as the match progresses, making run-scoring even harder in the second innings. Captains winning the toss may look to bat first, aiming to put runs on the board and then exploit the conditions later with the ball.
