Match Preview

India enters this match as the top-ranked team in the ICC Men’s T20I rankings, bringing a strong and settled squad led by dynamic batter Suryakumar Yadav. While India has not played many international T20Is this year, their experienced lineup with players like Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya promises a formidable challenge to any opponent.

The UAE, ranked 15th in the ICC Men’s T20I rankings, recently participated in a Tri-Series but lost all four matches. Despite the setbacks, the UAE team fought hard in some games and will be motivated to cause an upset against one of the best cricket teams in the world on home turf.

Playing at Dubai’s famous cricket stadium, the UAE will hope to leverage local support and conditions. India, meanwhile, will aim to maintain their dominance and set the tone for the tournament.

Pitch Report: Dubai International Cricket Stadium

The Dubai pitch generally remains dry throughout the game. The ball tends to stop after pitching, making it a challenging surface for batsmen to time their shots perfectly. Spin bowlers are expected to have significant influence as the match progresses, with the older ball assisting their variations.

On paper, India hold a massive advantage with their depth in batting, quality spin options, and world-class pacers. The game can be changed by players like Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shubman Gill alone.

As their bowlers must take advantage of the circumstances to challenge India, the UAE will mostly rely on Muhammad Waseem and Asif Khan to perform with the bat.
