Multiple pitches at Dubai have been used in the 4 games played at this venue. In the previous match between India & Australia, India chased down 267 without much fuss. However, there is a strong possibility that the pitch that was used for the India-Pakistan game could be used for this final, hence giving a strong indication that the pitch is going to be sluggish. The team that wins the toss will no doubt have a bat first.
The weather in Dubai is good for playing Cricket. The temperatures will hover around 30°C, as there are no chances of rain on the matchday.
India has a good ODI record against New Zealand, but the Kiwis have a better record against team India when it comes to knockout games in ICC tournaments (3-1). Hence, we cannot count out New Zealand just yet. Both teams have a 50-50 chance of winning this match.
