Pitch Report

The Sharjah Cricket Ground pitch is often batting-friendly, with short boundaries allowing for high-scoring contests. It is flat and offers good bounce, making it perfect for aggressive strokeplay. In the previous match at this venue, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders had scored 233 runs in the first innings. In reply, Sharjah Warriors also batted well. So, it seems this venue is heaven for batters. While this usually benefits the batsmen, spinners may also get some help as the game progresses, and dew could affect the second innings.
