Ever since the terror attack against the Sri Lankan cricket team, International teams have refused to tour Pakistan. As a result, Pakistan opted to adopt the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as their home venue. It has been almost close to a decade that Pakistan is playing in UAE.

On the other hand, the current Indian team is naïve to those conditions. The temperature, humidity level, and batting under the lights can play a vital role in deciding the winner.

Though Pakistan’s ODI record in UAE is weak when compared to their Test record, Pakistan will still enter the match as favourites against their archrivals.
