India vs New Zealand Match Pitch Report
It is being told that the same pitch on which the match between India and Pakistan was played has been prepared for the India vs New Zealand final match. Talking about the pitch, the batsmen will have to face a lot of challenges here. The pitch will be slow, spinners will get good help here. Fast bowlers can also trouble the batsmen. Although fast runs can be scored here in the beginning, but in the middle order one will have to depend more on singles and doubles.
There will be no role of dew in Dubai, so the captain who wins the toss can decide to bat first. Although chasing the runs here is not too difficult, but if the team batting first scores 290-300 then it will be very difficult for the team batting in the second innings to achieve the target.
