PAK vs BAN Live Updates: Pitch Report From Dubai

Pitch Report by Simon Doull and Waqar Younis:

"Chasing has been easy on this surface. I must admire the work from the ground staff. Looks like a nice covering of grass. It turned a bit. Didn't think the teams played well last night. I think throughout the tournament, the pitch has played well. It is humid in the air and it might do a little because of the conditions. There will be a little bit of movement. There might be a bit of turn as the game goes on."

PAK vs BAN live match: Pitch Report🏟️

The Dubai International Stadium pitch rarely hands out gifts to pacers but early swing with the new ball is on offer. As the game progresses, slower balls and cutters become effective weapons. Batting tends to ease under lights, while spinners enjoy grip in the middle overs. With a sluggish outfield, maximizing the powerplay is crucial. Expect the toss-winning skipper to bowl first.
