ILT20 Match 8 DC vs AD Dream11: Pitch Report
The pitches of the Dubai International Stadium are surprisingly not batter-friendly, with the average T20 score being around 160 in recent matches. The pitch here also supports pace bowling, making a collapse in the powerplay overs a common sight here.
The boundaries of this Stadium are not the shortest either, with the average rope being over 70m away from the batter. However, if a side scores big runs in the 1st innings here, the chase becomes so much more difficult as the pitch does not deteriorate much
