Pitch Report

The Sharjah Cricket Ground pitch is often batting-friendly, with small boundaries that allow for high-scoring contests. It is flat and has a true bounce, making it perfect for aggressive stroke play. In all three games played at this venue this season, all teams scored 170+ every time. So, definitely we can hope for a high-scoring game. Spinners can get some help as the game progresses, and dew could affect the second innings.
