Pitch report
The surface of the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is a balanced one as it has something for both batters and bowlers. Hence it is expected to stay as a sporting track in nature for the upcoming mega fixture. The batters will have to stay patient early on as they can accelerate their innings as the game goes on. Therefore, the skipper winning the toss at this venue will be tempted to bowl first, in a bid to have a calculative run chase.
