(Reuters) - New Zealand batter Glenn Phillips said on Saturday that he was confident the Black Caps can adapt to the surface in their Champions Trophy group match against India in Dubai where their opponents will be more familiar with the pitch and conditions.

India play all their matches at the Dubai International Stadium in the United Arab Emirates, a neutral venue selected after the country's board (BCCI) refused to send its team to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy due to political tensions.
