Dubai Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch in Dubai has been on the slower side and spinners and slower pace bowlers have enjoyed more success. The average first innings score in T20Is at the venue is 145 and in 62 matches, teams have managed to score 170+ runs only 11 times. However, teams setting the target have won more games so batting first appears to be the better option.
