IND vs NZ Predicted Game Changers

Varun Chakaravarthy (IND)

• To say the least, Varun Chakaravarthy is on a roll with the ball and his current form makes him a game-changer for the Men in Blue.
• Playing just 2 matches, Varun scalped 7 wickets in Dubai and given the venue's spin-friendly nature, it is highly probable that the mystery spinner will work the ball again to dismantle Kiwi's batting lineup.

Will Young (NZ)

• Will Young's bat has been mostly silent in New Zealand's campaign scoring only one ton against Pakistan. 
• With an average of 41.06 as an opener, Young can step in to build a solid innings for his team against India's pace and spin attack in the powerplays.

Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch

The Dubai International Cricket Stadium pitch is highly favourable to spinners and with the teams chasing dominating the wins, it can be understood that batting is a bit difficult earlier in the match.  With scores ranging from 220-270 from all the matches played in this venue, it can be understood that this will be a bowler-dominated pitch.
