The Champions Trophy started with a banger of the night where Kiwis were taking out the current champions Pakistan. New Zealand won their encounter comfortably which marks Pakistan starting with a loss. The second encounter is between India and Bangladesh. The last-time runners up India would be hoping to give a good start to the campaign.
India will play their games in Dubai due to security reasons. Dubai's climate is primarily known for its humid climate but there has been a drop in temperature and rainy showers have been seen in Dubai. The forecast has depicted that there will be light showers but the summer month has arrived increasing the humidity which is to be seen further.

Chase Prefers The Most
India has played 6 matches in Dubai ground where they have won 5 matches and one with a tie which marks a 100% per cent record. The condition to be stated that it would be cloudy and spinners will come into effect after due to cloudy conditions even though both the teams have included three spinners in there to take up the advantage. India has Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, and Jadeja but captain Rohit had stated that they are playing according to their need and the players mentioned are all-rounders, not full-time spinners.
Another bigger advantage is that the team playing second has the most winning ratio, we have seen that in the T20 World Cup which happened in Dubai and in the recent IL20 league the team playing second has won several matches, as batting second the temperature gets down and due to tendency of humidity present in the pitch makes it flat by which ball comes easily onto the bat.
India Missing Its Main Armour
The match between India and Bangladesh has just started with the toss where Bangladesh have won the toss and opted to bat first which has lightened up the burden for Rohit Sharma.
India Playing 11: Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav

India will be missing their main man Jasprit Bumrah who is the leader of the bowling attack the enduring thing is Shami is back in the squad. India has to chase the target so they have to possess a good bowling performance that would replicate in their batting.
