India vs Sri Lanka: Dubai International Stadium Pitch Report
Dubai has been an unpredictable surface in this Asia Cup.. While it's usually known to assist bowlers, especially pacers, the lack of swing this time around has made life easier for batters early on, before spinners take control later in the innings. Dew has also played a key role, often favouring the chasing side, so the toss winner will likely choose to bowl first.

India vs Sri Lanka: Weather Report
It’s going to be another hot day out in Dubai, with temperatures touching 38°C to 40 °C, partly cloudy skies, and no signs of rain. Typical Dubai weather is hot and humid, making it a testing day for players. The temperature might dip slightly after sunset, but it’ll still stay warm during play. Dew might be a factor again, especially for bowlers in the second innings.
