Dubai International Stadium Pitch Report

The Dubai International Cricket Stadium has proven to provide a well-rounded playing surface in the ILT20 2025, catering to both batters and bowlers. Fast bowlers benefit from early movement, with the new ball swinging, making conditions challenging for batters during the powerplay.

Once batters adjust to the conditions, they find it easier to play their shots. However, the presence of dew during evening matches has made it harder for teams to defend totals.

Looking at the statistics, 12 matches have been played at this venue so far in the tournament, with the team batting first winning 3 times and the team batting second winning 9 times. Given the success of teams chasing, captains winning the toss are expected to choose to bowl first.
