#3 Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai (UAE)

The Pakistani spinners have dominated opposition teams in Dubai

The Dubai International Cricket Stadium in the UAE has been a home away from home for the Pakistan cricket team for the past few years. And from what we have seen in terms of results, the sub-continent team seems to have taken a liking towards this highly modern and most beautiful cricket ground.

The pitch at perhaps one of the newest hubs in world cricket has been highly supportive of the spinners, especially those from Pakistan. While off-spinner Saeed Ajmal is the leading wicket-taker here with 37 wickets in 6 Tests, leggie Yasir Shah has impressed with 22 wickets in just 3 games.

The England team has struggled the most at the Dubai ground with the Pakistani spinners pushing them to 3 defeats in as many Tests. Even tweakers from touring countries have enjoyed bowling on this pitch such as Imran Tahir who picked 8 wickets in his only Test and Monty Panesar who took 7 in a match.
