The surface at Dubai was very slow in India's opening two games, a similar dry surface is expected for this mega clash. This could mean the teams would want to bat first.
The weather in Dubai is good for playing Cricket. The temperatures will hover around 24°C, as there are no chances of rain on the matchday.
India has a good ODI record against the Kiwis, but the Blackcaps have a 1-0 lead over India when it comes to the Champions Trophy. On the form front, both teams are unbeaten. Hence, based on this analysis both teams have a 50-50 chance.
