The pitch at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium has not been supportive of explosive batting in Asia Cup 2022, with most of the games producing first innings totals between 160-170. Spinners will unlikely get assistance from the wicket, but the pacers can get some seam movement and an extra bounce in the early stage of the game.

The temperature in Dubai will hover between 28 to 40 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, September 6, with a humidity level of 49 per cent. The wind speed will be around 11 km per hour, with a zero per cent chance of precipitation.
