Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:

Batters love the Dubai pitch, especially in the second innings. Early on, bowlers might get some help, but as the game goes on, the wicket usually flattens out, giving hitters the advantage. Out of the 15 games played in the ILT20 2025 season, teams batting second have won 9 of them. Consequently, the captain who wins the toss would probably bowl first.
