Pitch Report
The Dubai International Stadium is anticipated to be favourable for bowling conditions. The pitch seems to be slow, which might turn out to be difficult for the batters to swing. Rain is unlikely to drip during the match, however, the temperature is expected to be around 20 - 25 degrees Celsius throughout the match. The team winning the toss will choose to chase first as the conditions play a vital role in the scores. Interesting fact, out of 58 ODIs played at this venue, only 22 have been won by the teams who batted first.Head-To-Head Record
