Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Dubai International Stadium is a decent one to bat on. The ball comes on to the bat fairly well and is still the best among the three pitches to bat on. As seen in the previous matches on the surface, spin could play a major role here too.
Wickets in hand will be the key on the surface, with a score of around 160-70 a decent score on this venue. Considering this an afternoon match, bothe the captains will be looking to bat first, although the surface will not change much during the game.
