IND vs AUS, Semi Final – Dubai International Stadium Pitch Report
The match between India and Australia will take place on the Dubai pitch, which is generally slow and favors spinners. So far, dew has not had a significant impact, making it likely that chasing a target will be difficult. This was evident in the match against New Zealand.
Spinners become even more dangerous in the second innings, so the team winning the toss is expected to prefer batting first. India has a mystery spinner who will be the X-factor for the Indian cricket team.
The weather in Dubai will be completely clear, with no chances of rain. This means fans will be able to fully enjoy this exciting match.
IND vs AUS – Dream11 Match Prediction
