KL Rahul played an excellent knock on this ground last night against Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, one should note that RCB's poor performance in the bowling and fielding departments played a massive role in Rahul's success.

The pitch at the Dubai International Stadium has equally supported the batsmen and the bowlers. The batsmen need to spend some time in the middle before playing attacking shots. There will be some assistance for the spinners, while the fast bowlers will enjoy bowling with the new ball on this surface.

Here are some significant numbers from the previous T20 games played here.

T20 Matches Played: 70

Matches Won by Teams Batting First: 25

Matches Won by Teams Batting Second: 44 (1 Match ended in a tie)

Highest 1st innings Score: 206/3 - Kings XI Punjab vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, 2020
