Let’s dive right into the heart of the action and see what kind of action we can expect on the wicket and right across the outfield in the weeks ahead. Enjoy!
The tournament is being held jointly by Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates and will run from 19 February to 9 March 2025. The idea behind having dual hosts is to spread the reach of the tournament so that it has more of a global feel. While cricket may be much more widely watched and followed in Pakistan than it is in the UAE, the latter offers something of a new global profile for the game.

Weather conditions could play a part
We also have to think about how the wickets in the UAE may play differently from those in Pakistan. While the infrastructure in the UAE is always first-class, the wickets will bed in at different rates because they are played on much less than in Pakistan. There is no getting away from the fact that skilled spinners are going to attempt to get the measure of the wicket before the batters. This will give them a clear advantage as they experiment with changes in pace, angle, and the amount of swing they use in an attempt to force a mistake.
Pakistan will be able to play their games in front of a supportive crowd while others will be in neutral territory in Dubai. While this sounds like a clear advantage for the team in green, it’s important to remember the level of pressure their home fans will put on them. While we don’t want to say that they may not be able to shoulder this pressure, the vociferous nature of their support means that they may struggle if they get off to a slow start.
Cricket betting is better than ever
For those who like to be able to test themselves in other ways while they wait for the first balls to be bowled, there are a number of brand-new online casinos that offer new gameplay modes. Many fans choose to try out one of the many cricket slots available while they're waiting. Feel free to take a look and share it with your friends if you’re looking for a new form of entertainment that is safe, secure, and easy to get started with.
It is always hard to bet against India or Pakistan in these types of tournaments, but we should also point out that Australia is right near the very top of the rankings. While there will be over a billion fans rooting for someone else, Australia may just turn out to be the dark horse of the tournament. That is not to say we think they will win — we just think that they may make some big headlines in the opening few rounds of matches. We also want to highlight the importance of learning the swing on the wicket before the opposition. Any team that plays consecutive games on the same ground will have a clear advantage here.
While we want to leave the final predictions of who will come out on top up to you, we think there’s no better guide than combining past performance with current form. It’s all about combining youth and experience when you want to be able to put on a dynamic yet tactically astute performance on the field, and that means you need experienced pros and young pretenders to work together in perfect harmony. Cricket is the one sport where the two can play side by side without ever having to compromise a key aspect of their game.
Good luck and we hope your team plays well!
