CT 2025 IND vs NZ Pitch Condition
The slightly longer boundaries and slow surface in Dubai have made it a little bit tough for the batters to score runs freely. Though the Indian team has managed to chase down totals on this ground, it still proved to be challenging for them.
Looking at how the recent matches have panned out, the wicket might be unpredictable for both the captains. Hence it will be a wise decision to bat first and put up a big total to put the opposition under run-chase pressure.
A keen contest between teams of equal strength if not in star power. Toss may not be crucial but India will not mind batting first or second. Unlikely that it will be a high-scoring game
