At the Dubai International Stadium on Thursday, India will play Bangladesh to begin their Champions Trophy campaign.
The conditions of the Dubai pitch may favor the pacers more than the five spinners chosen for the competition.
India have a formidable speed attack lineup in the absence of their frightening pacer sensation, Jasprit Bumrah. In the most recent series against England, which was played in India, Harshit Rana, Mohammad Shami, and Arshdeep Singh made a lasting impression, demonstrating their ability to withstand pressure and responsibility. Furthermore, the drive of India’s young all-rounder Hardik Pandya gives them an additional advantage and keeps them in the pace department.
India’s spin is probably going to be the main weapon, but fast bowlers may also be crucial in these shifting conditions. They are prepared to face off, as evidenced by their recent performances, which establish India as a formidable foe. The emphasis will be on how well the speed department supports the spinners as they prepare to play Bangladesh, establishing the tone for India’s tournament title challenge.
Details on the weather forecast for Dubai International Stadium in Dubai
Throughout the day, reports have indicated that Thursday’s weather would be cloudy, overcast, and projected to get darker.
It is reasonable to anticipate a morning temperature of 26 degrees, which will progressively rise to 27 degrees by the afternoon. As the temperature drops to 23 degrees Celsius in the evening, the overcast catch will continue to occur as predicted.
Pitch Report
The surface at the Dubai International Stadium is probably very favorable to seamers, which helps fast bowlers like Mohammed Shami who can smash the seam and create movement. Shami’s versatility will prove to be a significant advantage and could prove to be a priceless tool during the competition.
In the tournament’s subsequent stage, India may use three spinners and two pacers because the surface tends to favor the spinners in the allotted space. Predicted conditions indicate that the team that wins the toss will probably bat first.
