At different stages of the game, the surface at Dubai International Cricket Stadium is known to benefit bowlers and hitters. Batters can settle and play their strokes as the game goes on, although fast bowlers may gain some early swing with the new ball. Chasing is a better choice because spinners may be crucial in the middle overs and dew may be an issue in the second innings.
