India vs Pakistan prediction

Group A ultimately comes down to this match as expected as India and Pakistan face off to likely decide who will win the group. With Oman and the UAE already comfortably beaten by both, the pressure ramps up now as the two rivals meet in Dubai.

On what is likely to be a slow pitch and one that will suit the spinners, both sides should field a number of spin options and it could very well come down to which side handles conditions the best.

The two teams have gone through something of a transition with stars such as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma for India and Mohamed Rizwan and Babar Azam for Pakistan all having left the international T20 scene, there are a number of fresh faces in both teams.

India have insane depth as shown in the IPL and even though there are some relatively new faces in the team, the quality is there.

They look to have the edge in all departments, especially batting and spin bowling, and we expect them to pick up a vital win over their arch rivals.
