Australia’s captain, Pat Cummins, has acknowledged that India has a significant advantage in the ICC Champions Trophy by playing all their matches in Dubai.

Cummins stated that playing at a single venue gives the Indian team a major edge, especially considering they are already a very strong side.

"I think it’s a good thing that the tournament is progressing," he added.

It is worth noting that while India plays all its matches in Dubai, other teams have to travel to the city for their group-stage games.

In the Champions Trophy, India has already secured victories against Bangladesh and Pakistan, winning both matches by six wickets.

With two wins, India has accumulated four points and currently sits in second place on the group table due to net run rate. The team will also play its first semi-final in Dubai.
