Dubai International Cricket Stadium: The Chosen Venue
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium, with a seating capacity of approximately 25,000, is renowned for its state-of-the-art facilities and has previously hosted significant international cricket events, including matches during the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the T20 World Cup.
