India versus Bangladesh Champions Trophy: Pitch Report of Dubai International Cricket Stadium
The pitches of the Dubai International Cricket Stadium are anticipated to provide balanced support to both the batters & the bowlers. This time around, two brand new fresh pitches have been kept aside for the Champions Trophy and they are going to be used for the matches involving the Indian Cricket Team.
The International League T20 games were also played at this very ground which would have made the surfaces old but the Cricket Board of the UAE had already told the stadium staff to keep two fresh pitches for the Champions Trophy games which are going to be played on this ground.
Since the tracks will be brand new, the fast bowlers will get a lot of support with the new ball and they will try their best to get the better of opposition batters with their variations. As the match progresses, the spin bowlers will start coming into the game and they will get a lot of assistance from the surface as well.
The batters will also receive similar support from the pitch as the ball will come onto the bat nicely and this will ensure that fans will get the chance to watch a fabulous game of Cricket between both teams.
