AFG vs WI: Pitch Report

The wicket in Dubai is slow and low. It will assist the spinners, and the bounce here is generally uneven. But batters can play their shots when the ball is new, but as the game goes forward, it will be challenging to time the ball. But during this time of year, there will be dew, and batting second can be ideal.
