The pitch in Dubai has been fairly good for batting. Although the scores haven’t been overly high until now, the batters have managed to score runs. Also, the deck has favoured the team batting second to a large extent. Chasing should be the way forward. Average first innings score: 136 (5 T20Is in Dubai in T20 World Cup 2021) Record of Chasing teams: Won – 5, Lost – 0, Tied – 0

Probable best batter of the match

Jason Roy (England)

Jason Roy has done exceptionally for England over the last six years or so. He has played quite a few knocks of substance at the top of the order. Roy got out cheaply in the game against the West Indies, but he made amends against Bangladesh. The right-hander stayed unbeaten on 61 off 38 with five fours and three sixes to take the Three Lions over the finishing line.

Probable best bowler of the match

Adam Zampa (Australia)

Adam Zampa has been exceptional for Australia in the T20 World Cup thus far. He has been one of the main reasons why the Aussies have won both their Super 12 matches until now. The tweaker has picked up four wickets from two matches at an excellent economy rate of 4.12. The England batters need to blend caution with aggression while facing him.
