India vs Pakistan Live: India battles Pakistan in the all-important clash in Dubai on Sunday. Before the humdinger in the ring of fire, all eyes are on the 22 yards and what it will dish out for the two teams.

India vice-captain Shubman Gill hinted on Saturday at what is in store after stating that the lack of dew in Dubai has made chasing a trickier proposition, and the men in blue would prefer to put runs on the board against Pakistan.

In the last match, there was no onset of dew. Contrary to expectations, there was no dew under the lights. So, it is expected to be slow and low wickets, and batting will not be easy. Strike rotation becomes important. The team that plays well in the middle overs, between 11-40, will have a better chance of winning.

As seen in the game against Bangladesh, the surface in Dubai will likely assist the spinners greatly. The average first innings score indicates that while runs can be scored, the venue is not always consistently high-scoring.

While Dubai has received some rainfall over the past couple of days, the match is expected to proceed without any weather disruptions. Forecasts indicate partly cloudy skies, with temperatures fluctuating between 23°C and 31°C throughout the day.

India Predicted Playing XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav

Pakistan Predicted Playing XI: Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan (c & wk), Salman Agha, Kamran Ghulam, Tayyab Tahir, Khushdil Shah, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed.
