Sharjah Cricket Stadium pitch report
The pitch at Sharjah Cricket Stadium will offer minimal seam movement to the fast bowlers. Meanwhile, the batters will exploit the track’s even pace and bounce to add some valuable runs to their tallies. However, once the ball gets older, it will be challenging to score runs at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The spinners will get significant turn and use it in their favour to make things tough for the batters in the middle overs.
Meanwhile, the pacers will consider bowling more cutters and slow balls, with the ball expected to hold up a bit after pitching around the hard length. The skipper winning the toss might want to have a bowl first and chase the total later on in the match.
