Teams’ Current Form
Pakistan: The Men in Green are coming off a dominant performance and look well-settled. Their top-order is in strong form, and the bowling unit continues to deliver under pressure.
Bangladesh: The Tigers have shown flashes of brilliance but inconsistency in the middle order remains a major concern. They will need key players to step up against a formidable Pakistani side.
Pitch and Weather Report
The pitch at Dubai International Cricket Stadium offers balanced conditions for both batters and bowlers. Seamers may get early assistance under lights, while batters can target the shorter boundaries later in the innings. The weather forecast predicts clear skies and humid conditions, ideal for an uninterrupted contest.
