The strip at the Dubai Cricket Stadium has, thus far, been on the sluggish side, with the batters having difficulties in scoring the runs with free flow. With only an average first innings total of 135 on this surface in the Asia Cup 2025, the Dubai venue has seemed to have aided bowlers more. Spinners have, in particular, dominated the proceedings at Dubai Cricket Ground, accounting for the majority of the wickets. The venue is yet to witness a 200-plus total in the last three years.
The Asia Cup 2025 men’s cricket tournament has been a tough event for all the players due to the harsh climate of the UAE.

The dew has been a major factor in this event, with bowling getting difficult in the second innings. However, the low totals while batting first in the event, has negated this effect to much excent. With a sudden drop in temperature during the night, dew will remain a major talking point.
