GG vs MIE Outfield Report
Dubai International Cricket Stadium
Based on past patterns, Dubai tracks tend to provide a mix of early seam movement and reliable bounce, with spin becoming more useful as the game wears on. However, the specific pitch conditions for Dec 04, 2025, remain unverified.
Dubai in early December usually features mild evenings and warm daytime temperatures, often around the mid-20s Celsius. Humidity tends to increase after sunset. Since this match is in the future, exact weather data cannot be verified.
Historically, Dubai has produced first-innings totals between 150–180 in T20 leagues. Lower totals around 120–130 usually occur when the pitch slows down or when early wickets fall. These ranges are based on earlier ILT20 seasons; I cannot confirm exact expectations for this match.
