Dubai weather prediction for Sunday.
If we talk about the pitch in Dubai, it has been the most spin-friendly track in the entire ICC Champions Trophy 2025 till date. The spinners have an average of around 37.07 with economy rate of 4.36.
The batters have struggled to put the spinners away on this track and New Zealand have three quality tweakers in their line-up in skipper Mitchell Santner, Michael Bracewell and Glenn Phillips. Team India are likely to introduce Varun Chakravarthy in this match by resting either Kuldep Yadav or Ravindra Jadeja.
In the remote possibility of this match getting washed out by rain, New Zealand will top the group and will possibly face Australia, who finished in second place in Group B. The tournament has already witnessed three washed-out matches – two of them in Rawalpindi and one coming in Lahore. The Rawalpindi matches were abandoned without a ball getting bowled.
