Group B: South Africa, England, West Indies, Bangladesh, and Scotland.
The top two teams from each group will progress to the semi-finals, scheduled for 17 and 18 October, with the final to be held in Dubai on 20 October.
MATCH PREVIEW

Both teams boast of strong batting & bowling attacks but India’s team looks more balanced and strong, so the battle between the batsmen and bowlers will be crucial in deciding the outcome of the match.
Considering the form and capabilities of both teams, this match has the potential to be a close contest. It will be interesting to see how the teams strategize and adapt to the conditions. Fans can again expect an exciting and competitive match between South Africa vs New Zealand.
PITCH REPORT
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium, located in Dubai Sports City, is known for hosting high-profile T20 leagues, international matches, and tournaments like the IPL, T20 World Cup, and Asia Cup. Here are some key insights about the pitch and playing conditions:
1.Balanced Surface
The pitch usually offers a good balance between bat and ball, with early help for seamers and turn for spinners as the game progresses.
In T20s, it can be a bit slow, favoring teams with quality spinners and disciplined bowlers.
Batting Conditions
Runs can be hard to come by in the first few overs, but once batters get set, they can play their shots.
The surface becomes easier to bat on under lights in night games, as dew can reduce grip for bowlers.
2.Bowling Factors
Seamers: Movement early with the new ball, but they need to mix pace later on to avoid getting hit in T20s.
Spinners: Play a crucial role, especially in the middle overs, where the pitch assists them with slow turn.
3.Weather Conditions
Hot and Dry: With temperatures ranging from 30–40°C, it can be exhausting for players during day matches.
Dew Factor: At night, dew often becomes a critical factor, making it harder for bowlers to grip the ball, favouring teams batting second.
4.Average Scores
T20: 150–160 can be competitive, though 180+ is often needed for comfort.
ODI: 260–280 is par, but higher scores are achievable.
Test: Batters tend to struggle as the match progresses due to uneven bounce and wear on the pitch.
- General Trend
Chasing Advantage: In limited-overs matches, captains prefer to chase due to the dew and slightly easier batting conditions under lights.
