India vs Pakistan: Dubai International Stadium Pitch Report
Dubai has been an unpredictable surface throughout this Asia Cup. In the last match between India and Sri Lanka, the pitch played flat. While Dubai is typically known to assist bowlers, especially pacers, the lack of swing this time around has made things easier for batters early in the innings, with spinners coming into play later on. For the final, the surface is expected to remain on the flatter side, likely favouring the batters once again.
Dew has also played a significant role in recent games, often giving an advantage to the team chasing. So, the toss could be crucial; the winner is likely to opt for bowling first.
India vs Pakistan: Weather Report
It is expected to be another hot day in Dubai for the big final, with temperatures ranging between 38°C and 40°C under partly cloudy skies. There are no signs of rain, making it typical Dubai weather, hot and humid, which will test the players’ stamina.
As the game progresses into the evening, temperatures might dip slightly after sunset but will remain warm throughout play.. Dew is likely to be a factor again, especially challenging bowlers in the second innings.
