There is a huge ruckus going on between BCCI and PCB regarding the Champions Trophy. Actually, the Indian Cricket Board had demanded a hybrid model, but the Pakistani Board was not ready to accept it. He had also rejected this proposal in the ICC virtual meeting held on 29 November. However, seeing the remaining 7 teams in the tournament standing aside, his attitude has weakened. According to the report, PCB is now ready to play matches against India in Dubai under the hybrid model. However, its official announcement has not been made yet. If this happens, will the Indian team be able to defeat Pakistan in Dubai? Let us know what the figures say?

What is Team India's record in Dubai?

The Indian team last played in Dubai in 2022. This means that if the Champions Trophy is held under the hybrid model, India will play in Dubai after 3 years. Last time it faced Afghanistan in a T20 match, whereas the Champions Trophy will be organized in ODI format. Let us tell you that it has been 6 years since India played ODI matches in Dubai. However, the record of the Indian team on the ground of Dubai has been very excellent.

Team India played 6 ODI matches here in 2018, out of which 5 were won and 1 match was tied. Talking about Pakistani team, Team India faced it in 2 ODI matches here and was victorious both times. The Indian team has batted on this ground only once before and could score the highest score of 285 runs. While chasing on this ground, India has registered its biggest win against Pakistan in terms of wickets and balls. Overall, Team India has the upper hand on this ground.

UAE is a big contender for hosting

If the Pakistan Cricket Board agrees to play on the hybrid model and it is officially announced, then all the matches of Team India can be held in Dubai. Considering the location, timing and other facilities, UAE is considered to be the best option. Therefore, it is being considered the biggest contender to host India's matches. At the same time, even if Pakistan loses the hosting of the Champions Trophy, UAE can be seen hosting this tournament. However, before this, South Africa's name had also come up in the race for hosting, but there was not much discussion on it.
