🏏T20 Asia Cup 2025- Ind vs UAE 2nd Match, Group A, Dubai 🏏 - Page 3

rajith k: "one thing for sure , cant expect totals above 200 and we may see some low scoring thrillers " -- Well, the grassy surface in Dubai has left India with a selection headache, and the early signs are that their bowling attack may not be as spin-heavy as during the ICC Champions Trophy earlier this year.

RJSarthak: "I am happy to see Varun's inclusion, but at the same time, disappointed that Kuldeep is the one who has to make way. The man has done nothing wrong, yet selection seems to avoid him." -- With pitches expected to tire, reckon Kuldeep might get a go before not very long. Plus, Chakravarthy happens to be the fourth-best ranked T20I bowler in the world, which is not shabby at all.

Thank you for the tag soni

Excited for this match

Cheering for the Men in blue

Jay: "If India is going with the pace heavy route, I really hope Arshdeep is picked over harshit rana, because the number 8 spot can be filled by an allrounder for the time being, but leaving out your best t20i seamer is a gamble I hope India do not take" -- Well, we should find out soon enough. Toss in 5.

I don’t even know who has been selected for Team India🤣

All the best anyways🥳

India have won the toss and have opted to field

Finally India won a toss

Suryakumar: We'll bowl first. Looks a nice fresh wicket. Humid also today, might be dew later. If we get an opportunity, we're flexible to do anything but today we want to bowl. We came here early, had 3-4 good practice sessions and also a day off.

Waseem: We were also looking to bowl. Pitch is fresh and maybe the ball will do something early. We had a good series, took many positive points and we're confident from that series. We're going with a good combination with spinners and fast bowlers, and juniors and seniors.

Pitch and conditions | Russell Arnold and Sanjay Manjrekar: Today is a much calmer day in terms of the heat. There's a shorter boundary the players can target. 62 meters on one side, 75 meters on the other. Newly laid pitch with some cracks. 4 mm grass I'm told. There are some bare patches too, so it could be unpredictable. One side is bare and the other end has grass.
