Pitch and Conditions
The pitch in Dubai isn’t an absolute belter by any means. The spinners are expected to play a huge role and run-making may not be all that easy. Scoring runs in the powerplay will be critical. However, batters have gotten some runs after biding their time in the middle. The conditions will be hot with the temperature around 36 degrees Celsius. The humidity will mostly be in the mid-40s.
