Dubai International Cricket Stadium Field Report

The pitch at the Dubai International Stadium has provided a balanced competition between batsmen and bowlers this season. Fast bowlers may find help with the early movement of the new ball, which poses a challenge for the batsmen in the opening overs. However, as the match progresses, the surface evens out, allowing for a smoother stroke play.
