PSL 2018 : Green pitch in Dubai?

Yes, Green pitch in Dubai. It is a good thing for bowlers. The batsmen will get to learn to bat on green pitches :)
 
Probably wanted the ball to come on to the bat better. The grass didn't get roled into the soil properly I guess. The ball's coming on nicely but the movement made it hard to negotiate.
 
Good, give something to bowlers too. Plus this grass will only last a few days, after being played on for so long the grass will die.

PSL has always been bowler orientated. The par score on this ground was 143 for FGS.
 
Unless the wicket is over used, in few days time this wicket should be absolute batting belter. I think, there is still some moisture beneath, hence it's not fast & bouncier enough - but, if the base is grinned properly, with few days rolling & sun, this should be 300+ ODI wicket (while chasing - it;s easily possible to prepare 300+ ODI wicket, but then similar strength team crashes to 170 chasing 353, which I am not talking about).

I believe, this should end the myth that wickets with good carry can't be prepared in desert .......
 
Think we may have to wait a few matches before we start seeing higher scores
