Pitch Report
The wicket at Sharjah is a typically balanced one for both batters and bowlers. Furthermore, batters will find it relatively easy to hit boundaries at the start of the game. But, spinners will also dominate the game in the second half of the innings and batters will have a tough time. Additionally, pacers will also get some swing when the ball gets old. Therefore, the team batting first will have to make their powerplay count. Furthermore, the average first innings score at this venue is 223.
