Pitch conditions in Dubai and toss prediction
In the early years of T20 cricket, the pitch conditions in Dubai were generally slow and not conducive to high scoring . Prior to 2020 the pitch conditions in Dubai afforded just an average first innings score of just 147. However, since then and following the 2020 IPL which saw 26 matches played on the pitch at Dubai the scoring has risen considerably including 5 scores of over 200 during that period and and average first innings score of 170.
With the boundary ropes pushed back and pitch in the centre the boundaries square of the wicket can be as long as 82 meters while straight are just 64 meters. With recent matches in Dubai seeing pitches which spin less than they have historically, these short straight boundaries have limited the effectiveness of slower bowlers in T20 matches played in Dubai.
Average T20 score in Dubai
The average T20 score in Dubai during the first innings is 152
The average first innings winning score in T20 matches in Dubai is 168
As noted above during IPL 2020, these average T20 scores in Dubai rose to 172 and 179 respectively.
