The pitch in Dubai is typically well-balanced. The surface will probably to have grass, which will allow the ball to skid. The quicker bowlers will benefit early on, but they must bowl an effective line and length to put the batsmen under pressure.
Anything above 240-255 runs will be difficult to chase at this venue. The weather is expected to be clear, with temperatures ranging between 24 and 27 degrees.

India is undoubtedly the favorite to win the match. They have a formidable batting lineup and a balanced bowling strike at their disposal. Bangladesh, on the other hand, appears to be in transition and is struggling, particularly with its batting. India's top batting lineup, led by Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, has the potential to score big and anchor the innings. Mohammed Shami leads their pace bowling attack, which is among the best in the world. Bangladesh's batting lineup has historically struggled against Indian bowling. India has a better head-to-head record against Bangladesh, winning 7 of their last 10 games. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.
