ICC Men's T20 World Cup Qualifier is going to begin in UAE. This tournament will decide which of the participating Teams will ultimately qualify for the 2020 Cricket World Cup in Australia.
As we have already seen in the recent past, the conditions have been kind to the bowlers. There have been scored as low as under 150 runs which have been defended in T20 matches in the UAE. But at the same time as we have seen in the T10 leagues, the batsman have flourished abundantly in the UAE grounds.
It's evident from past records that pitches in UAE are unique. Neither do they add to the spin as we see in the case of the sub-continental pitches, nor do they provide the extra bounce or swing, troubling batsmen, as we see in the rest of the world. It's an amalgamation of both of these two primary genres of pitches.

It's possible to get the bowl turn inches at UAE as well as get them swing over feet. The pitches in this part of the world are ideal for bowling and in UAE it has been seen in the past, the game tilts slightly towards the bowlers defying it's usual nature where the modern-day cricket is known to be a batsman's game. These conditions have been used by the once pristine and world renowned Pakistani bowling attack to their advantage in the past.
The ICC Men's T20 Qualifiers will commence on 18 October and end on 2 November 2019. The International Cricket Council is going to be the administrative body for the tournament.
