Sharjah Cricket Stadium, UAE Pitch Report Ahead of AUS-W vs NZ-W
The even and bouncy pitch of the Sharjah cricket stadium allows the batter to score with ease in the initial overs. The pitch offers a minimal seam movement to the pacers. However, as the match progresses and the ball gets old, bowlers start to tighten their grip on the ground. Its dry surface often favors the pacer and makes it difficult for batters to hit the shots, especially in the middle overs. Also looking at the stats, it seems harder for batsmen to add the runs onto the scoreboard. The average 1st innings score varies between 140 and 145 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium’s pitch.
