Pitch Report: As seen in the previous games this season, there was some favourable assistance for the pace bowlers and spinners at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The pitch has surely been challenging for the batters and they will have to bat really well to put up a big total while batting first. Things will be better for batting in the second innings since it is an afternoon game. Thus, bowling first will be a safe decision after winning the toss on this surface. The average first innings total will remain around 150-160 mark.

Toss Update: Punjab Kings won the toss and opted to bowl first.
