DCP vs ADKR Pitch Report of Dubai International Cricket Stadium:
The pitch at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium for the all-important game between Dubai Capitals and Abu Dhabi Knight Riders is expected to be a sporting one
Meaning that the wicket will have something in it for both batters and bowlers, given that they are ready to apply themselves
The batters will enjoy batting on this wicket with the ball coming nicely on the ball, especially in the first few overs when it is new.
The surface is predicted to have good bounce, which the batters can use to their advantage and hit through the line after playing the initial few overs with caution, as the bowlers might get some swing when the ball is new.
Things might become challenging for the batters once the ball gets soft, with the medium pacers coming into play by using the variations that they have up their sleeves, like the cutters and slower balls, and outfoxing the batters.
That is the reason why the batters should make the most of the good batting conditions that will be on offer in the first six overs and play according to the merit of the ball once the bowlers switch to plan B.
Having said that, a lot will depend on the amount of dew that affects the game, especially in the second innings.
If dew plays a significant role, then the spinners will have their task cut out as gripping the ball will become difficult with the seam getting wet.
Taking into account the above-mentioned factor, the team that wins the toss might opt to bowl first, as defending a score won’t be easy in this particular game.
However, the team batting first might be able to negate the threat of dew if it succeeds in posting an above-par total on the board and gives the bowlers a cushion of extra 10-15 runs.
The team batting first should look to score at least 200-210 runs to increase their chances of winning and back its bowlers to pick early wickets.
Conclusion
Dubai Capitals would eye a win against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in order to book a place in qualifier two of the ongoing season of the ILT20 against the MI Emirates.
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, on the other hand, would also look to win the upcoming match so as to move a step closer towards winning their first ILT20 title.
