Pitch Report
The pitch at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium is renowned for its slow and sluggish nature, making it challenging for batters to score runs freely. The ball tends to stop after hitting the surface, further complicating the task for the batsmen. As this is a day game, it is anticipated that the wicket will slow down even more as the match progresses.
Weather Report
The weather forecast for Sharjah predicts a warm afternoon with abundant sunshine during the match, and minimal chances of rain.
