IND vs UAE Betting Tips
Abhishek Sharma to score Over 24.5 runs
Abhishek Sharma is the leading run-scorer for India in the T20 format this year. He has scored at least 25 runs in 5 of his last 7 innings, including two half-centuries and a century. Seeing his good form, we are backing Sharma to bowl a good spell.
Varun Chakravarthy to be the best bowler for India
Varun Chakravarthy has picked up 14 wickets in his last 5 T20I outings. He has picked up at least 2 wickets in each of his last 9 matches, including two 5-wicket hauls. As the pitch in Dubai is on the slower side, we expect Varun to be the best bowler for India.

IND vs UAE Team Previews
India
India is the most successful team in the history of the Asia Cup and is also the defending champion for this edition.
Indiaās recent form in the shortest format has been excellent as they have won 6 of the last 7 matches, and they will hope to continue playing with the same momentum. The squad selection has been more or less on expected lines, with some exceptions.
The biggest news is the inclusion of Shubman Gill, who returns to the international T20s after more than a year. Gill is almost certain to open the batting and could be joined by Abhishek Sharma. The middle order is likely to be made up of Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Jitesh Sharma, and Rinku Singh.
Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel could be the two all-rounders who add depth to the batting. With Jasprit Bumrah included in the squad, he is almost certain to lead the pace department and could be joined by Arshdeep Singh. Varun Chakravarthy will be the specialist spinner.
India Expected Playing 11
Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (C), Jitesh Sharma (WK), Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy

United Arab Emirates
This is the first time that the UAE has qualified for the Asia Cup since 2016. In that edition, they finished at the bottom of the table, failing to register even a single win. Nevertheless, the team has come a long way since then and hopes to exploit the home advantage to the fullest.
The hosts have named the same squad that recently faced Afghanistan and Pakistan in the Tri-series, with two additions in the form of Matiullah Khan and Simranjeet Singh. While the teamās performance in that series is nothing to write home about, there have been some highs for the team in 2025. They won 6 of their last 9 games before that, including a memorable series win against Bangladesh.
Muhammad Waseem remains the key for the hosts. He has been in excellent form this year and has a strong strike rate as well. He is likely to open the batting along with Alishan Sharafu. The middle order has a mix of experienced and young players, including the likes of Asif Khan, Rahul Chopra, Muhammad Zohaib, and Harshit Kaushik.
However, they have limited exposure to quality bowling units, and it remains to be seen how they perform. UAE will bank on its pace trio of Junaid Siddique, Saghir Khan, and Rohid Khan to make early inroads in Indiaās batting lineup, while Haider Ali could play an important role during the middle overs.
United Arab Emirates Expected Playing 11
Muhammad Waseem (C), Muhammad Zohaib, Alishan Sharafu, Ethan DāSouza, Rahul Chopra (WK), Asif Khan, Dhruv Parashar, Saghir Khan, Junaid Siddique, Haider Ali, Rohid Khan
IND vs UAE Toss Prediction
8 of the last 10 matches played here were won while batting first. In 9 of those games, the team winning the toss opted to field first. However, going by the records, we feel that batting first might be a better option.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The pitch in Dubai is usually dry, and the ball stops a bit after pitching, making it difficult for the batsmen to time the ball. The spinners are likely to play an important role here, especially once the ball gets older.
The average first-inning score here is around 145. However, the team batting first will look to score at least 170-180 runs. The weather is likely to remain warm with temperatures around 35 degrees, and the dew could play a role in the second half.
IND vs UAE: Who Will Win?
India is the overwhelming favourite to win this match. They are arguably one of the strongest teams in the tournament and have plenty of firepower to overcome any challenge thrown their way.
Bet on India to win.
IND vs UAE win percentage stands at 93% in favor of IND.
Todays Match Prediction: India to Win.
