Champions Trophy: Why are runs not being scored on Dubai pitches? The UAE board gave this answer

Team India is playing all its matches in the Champions Trophy in Dubai. In the group stage, the Indian team has played all three matches and has won all three. But the score of 250 runs could not be crossed in any match on the Dubai pitches. Questions are constantly being raised on the slow pitch of Dubai. Now UAE Board COO Subhan Ahmed has responded on this matter. On the criticism of Dubai pitches, he says that, we have managed the workload of the pitches well before the Champions Trophy.

What did the UAE Board say about the slow pitches of Dubai?

ILT20 was played in UAE just before the Champions Trophy. Its 15 matches were played in Dubai on the same ground on which the Indian team is playing the Champions Trophy. UAE Board COO Subhan Ahmed said in a conversation with the media that when he came to know that the Champions Trophy matches will also be held in Dubai, he started preparing the pitches during the ILT20 tournament itself and the pitches that were to be used for the Champions Trophy were not used for the T20 tournament. He said that we had followed all the requirements of the ICC. And managed the workload of the pitches well. According to Subhan Ahmed, so far a good picture has emerged from the matches held in Dubai.

250 plus runs were not scored in all three matches

So far, three matches have been played in the Champions Trophy in Dubai. India played the first match against Bangladesh. While batting first, Bangladesh was all out for 228 runs. India took 46.3 overs to chase a small score against a team like Bangladesh. India played the second match against Pakistan. While batting first, Pakistan team was all out for 241 runs.
