FUJ vs ABD, Match 1: Pitch Report

Having hosted a lot of international and franchise T20 cricket in the recent past, the Dubai International Stadium has turned into a great T20 venue. The pitch at the venue is quite a balanced one where the bowlers and the batters both find good assistance. The pacers find initial movement off the pitch and as the match progresses, the spinners as well come into play. The large square boundaries may help the bowlers if they bowl accordingly at Dubai.

On the other hand, the pitch is also a good batting surface where the batters tend to enjoy their time. The pitch even gets better to bat on in the latter half of the match. The short straight boundaries of the Dubai International Stadium are generally targeted by the batters in order to score quick runs.
