The Dubai pitch is considered more favorable for spinners. Although fast bowlers receive some assistance from swing in the beginning, spin bowlers are more effective than fast bowlers in the middle overs. Additionally, the toss will play a crucial role today, as the team chasing has a good record here. Therefore, both captains will likely choose to bowl first after winning the toss.
Indian spin bowlers have been impressive in Asia Cup 2025. Kuldeep Yadav, in particular, has troubled the opposition batsmen. So far in this tournament, Kuldeep Yadav has taken 13 wickets in six matches. He also took four wickets in two matches against Pakistan. Varun Chakravarthy has taken five wickets in Asia Cup 2025.
India: Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Tilak Varma, Shivam Dubey, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya/Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav.
