UAE vs NEP Pitch Report

Dubai International Cricket Stadium has a flat track and a fast outfield, making it a batsman's paradise. Fast bowlers have always struggled as there isn't much on the surface, and they need to use their variations well. Spinners have enjoyed a good run here as the ball turns a bit.

Toss: To Bowl

Most teams prefer to chase scores at this venue as the conditions are slow here. In the last 10 matches, the team chasing the score has won seven times. The side winning the toss will prefer to bowl first and restrict the opposition to a small total.
