Match Overview

India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, enters this series as the clear favorite. The team is fresh from their T20 World Cup win in 2024, where they went unbeaten. Since then, India has not played a single T20I, giving players a rare month-long break.

The squad is full of talent and balance. Young stars like Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma add energy, while veterans such as Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya bring experience. India’s batting line-up is strong, and their bowling attack is versatile. However, they may miss having a true all-rounder bowler who can also bat effectively.

The UAE, captained by Muhammad Waseem, enters as the underdog but has the benefit of home advantage. Their coach, Lalchand Rajput, is known for guiding India to the 2007 T20 World Cup win, and his tactical knowledge will help the team.

Recent form has been tough for the UAE. They lost all five games in their last T20I tri-series against Pakistan and Afghanistan. Still, they showed fight, coming close in a narrow five-run loss to Afghanistan. With players like Asif Khan and Haider Ali, the UAE hopes to use local conditions to put pressure on India.
