DC vs SWR: Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitches in Dubai haven’t been great for batting, with significant assistance for spinners and pacers. The venue has hosted nine games in the season, with the average batting first score reading just 148. Six of those games were won by the chasing sides so expect the teams to prefer bowling first. 

Dubai should witness clear weather with the temperature hovering around 19 degree Celsius.
