Pitch and toss report
The Dubai pitch used to be very slow earlier. This is not the case now. According to the report, the pitch that India will get in Dubai will be new. There are two fresh pitches in the Dubai stadium, which have not been used for any match recently. It is being claimed in the report that the pitches will be a bit fast, which will benefit the spinners. The team batting in the second innings here has a better record of winning, so the team winning the toss can decide to field first.
So far 58 ODIs have been played here. The team batting first won 22 matches and the team batting second won 34 matches. However, one match each ended in a draw and a tie. The highest score here is 355/5, which England made against Pakistan in 2015.
Dubai Weather Report
Rain may disrupt the India-Bangladesh match. There are 55% chances of rain in Dubai on 20 February. There is a possibility of rain at some places with sunshine in the afternoon.
