Dubai International Stadium Pitch Report:
The balanced surface of the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is well-known for helping bowlers and batters alike. In the early overs, stroke play might be a little difficult because the pitch usually starts off slower. As the game goes on, spinners are frequently used to extract bounce and turn from the dry surface. But quick bowlers can also have an effect, particularly when the ball is new and illuminated. Historically, games at the location have been moderately scored, with teams frequently choosing to chase because of the dew factor in night games.
Weather Report:
It is predicted that the temperature will stay between 30 and 32°C, with moderate humidity. Cloud cover will be little to nonexistent, guaranteeing an uninterrupted 50-over competition. Swing bowling may be marginally impacted by wind speed in the first few overs, but as the match goes on, the emphasis will be on how well teams manage the heat and exhaustion.
