Importance of the Toss
The Dubai pitch is known for being slightly slow and spinner-friendly. While chasing is generally preferred here due to the dew factor, the current tournament has shown that defending scores between 170–180 can also be very effective.
- Early overs offer some swing for pacers.
- Middle overs are crucial as spinners dominate on this surface.
- Dew in the second innings makes batting easier, so toss-winning teams usually prefer to bowl first.
