IND vs NZ pitch report and weather conditions
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium has traditionally offered a balanced pitch, assisting both batters and bowlers. Early on, batters can take advantage of the true bounce, but as the game progresses, spinners tend to come into play, making stroke-making challenging. Pacers who can mix their variations well, especially slower balls and cutters, will also find success.
There is no forecast for rain, with the chance of precipitation remaining as low as 1%. The temperature will range between 23 to 28 degrees Celsius during the day and around 18 degrees Celsius at night, ensuring ideal playing conditions.
