The Dubai International Stadium pitch gives some help to the fast bowlers in the initial overs. Both seam and swing work with the new ball, but as the match progresses, the wicket becomes a bit slow, and batting can seem difficult. In such a situation, spinners can play an important role.

Weather Impact on Bowling:
The weather will be very hot and humid – the temperature can go up to 39–41 degrees during the day, while it will be slightly lower at night. The effect of dew can be seen in the second innings, which will make it difficult for the bowlers to grip the ball, and the batsmen will benefit. There is no threat of rain, so the match will be completed.
Which Team have a more powerful bowling attack:
India’s bowling looks a bit stronger on paper. Fast bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep can take advantage of the initial swing. At the same time, Kuldeep Yadav has a strong record against Pakistan in the middle overs, which can give Team India an edge. The Pakistan team also has deadly bowlers like Shaheen Afridi, who can prove to be dangerous with the new ball. But their spin attack lacks experience and does not seem as strong as India’s.
So, looking at the conditions and records, it can be said that India’s bowling looks better than Pakistan’s, especially in the early and middle overs.
