Is the Indian team getting an unfair advantage in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 by playing all its matches in Dubai?

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

All this complaining about Dubai is mainly because India reached the finals. If I'm not mistaken, the PCB originally proposed that India play all their matches in Lahore and return to the border after each game. So, how is playing in one venue in Dubai any different?

Is traveling first class from Pakistan to Dubai and back, with a flight duration of just 1.5 hours, really that tiring for the New Zealand players or SA players? Naseer Hussain and Atherton throw a fit every time India wins a game—imagine the tantrums if India wins two global tournaments in the span of two years!

We dont talk about facts!

Just a distraction to mask their own team's poor performance. England didn't even leave anywhere to play another match. If i were their fans i would be screaming at my own cricket board. Not whining about team that already made the final. Anyway given that it helps them cope i wouldn't pay much attention to it. Human beings handle their sufferings different way. Some look at someone who is in worse situation than them and say "Atleast i am not him". Some does the opposite. They look at someone who is far superior to them and say "I sincerely pray they come to our level". First one is practical. Second one is pitiful.
