Pitch Report of Dubai International Cricket Stadium Ahead of IND-W vs NZ-W
Dubai International Cricket Stadium has a balanced pitch that favors both batters and bowlers. Due to the short form of boundaries, it is easier for batsmen to score. However, bowlers, especially fast bowlers, get some help with the new ball. Spinners also get chances in the initial overs. But as the game progressed, batters started to root in the grounds during the middle overs and the scoreboard finally got some numbers. In the last overs, the surface goes hard on spinners and refuses help taking wickets. This makes it easier for the chasing team to hunt down the target and win the game.
