Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Kirti Azad also shared his views regarding the high-octane encounter between India and Pakistan.
“Who will win and lose in today’s game, it is difficult to say but according to the current team, India will win today’s match. Indian players have been defeating Pakistan in most of the matches even before this,” said Kirti Azad.
“The Indian players have an extra advantage of knowing the Dubai pitch better, as they have just played the Indian Premier League (IPL), which will give them an upper hand in the game,” he added.
