Dubai International Stadium T20 records: Dubai International Stadium records and highest T20 innings total

Dubai International Stadium T20 records and highest innings total: Dubai will be hosting a T20I in over nine months tomorrow.

Sri Lanka and Afghanistan will be locking horns in the first match of the imminent 15th edition of the Asia Cup starting in Dubai from tomorrow. Only the second T20I between these two teams, they will be facing each other after more than six years.

Afghanistan might have ended up on the losing side in their first-ever T20I against Sri Lanka but they have played more and better cricket than the Lankans at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

In nine T20Is here, Afghanistan have won six and lost three to have an impressive venue record. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka have won one and lost two out of their three Dubai T20Is.

As far as the recent form is concerned, Sri Lanka will enter this intercontinental tournament on the back of four losses in their last five matches. Afghanistan, on the other hand, fare better in this aspect as well as they’ve won three out of their last five T20Is.
