IND vs PAK Outfield Report
Dubai International Cricket Stadium
The Dubai pitch is known for being batting-friendly with consistent bounce, favoring stroke-makers while still assisting pacers with early movement. The outfield is fast, making boundaries easier to come by, especially for big-hitting teams like India and Pakistan. Bowlers will need to adapt quickly to changing conditions, particularly during the evening session.
The weather in Dubai is expected to be warm and dry, with temperatures around 33°C during match time and minimal chances of rain. Light winds may influence swing for pacers in the initial overs. Evening conditions are favorable for dew, which could make bowling in the second innings challenging.
Historically, teams batting first at Dubai have scored anywhere between 150-210, while chasing sides have successfully chased totals of 170-205 in similar high-pressure matches. Predictable scores suggest that totals above 200 could be match-defining, with sub-160 likely putting pressure on the batting side.
