India vs Pakistan Toss Prediction
Chasing teams have a significant advantage in these venues, as dew and humidity play an important role in the second innings. If either captain wins the toss, they will choose to bowl first.
India vs Pakistan Pitch Report
The bowlers benefit from Dubai’s slow pace and uneven bounce. Batters must practice before going for big shots. Spinners may take advantage of the slower nature of the track with the older ball. We anticipate around 160-170 runs in this match as well.

In this game, Dubai is expected to have bright and sunny weather with no chance of rain or weather interruptions.
India vs Pakistan Prediction
India’s middle order batting unit has been outstanding, with aggressive players who can take on any bowler. Bowling has been very consistent, and they expect spinners to play a significant role here. Pakistan’s batters have been consistent, but they lack the firepower of India. They have a strong bowling attack, with pacers capable of hitting 140+ runs per over and spinners who can run through the opposition. We believe India will win this match due to their experienced players and recent results.
India is the favourite to beat Pakistan at the odds of 1.55.
