IND vs NZ, 12th Match, CT2025: Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
Dubai isn’t known for producing high-scoring games. So it won’t be any different in the India vs New Zealand clash.
As usual, the venue will roll out a slow pitch, with a balanced contest between batters and bowlers. Batters will have to put in hard yards to score runs on this track. Bowlers, on the other hand, will get decent support.
Fast bowlers will extract some movement early in the game, while spinners will get some turn as the pitch wears down.
