Sharjah Cricket Stadium, UAE Pitch Report Ahead of AUS-W vs SL-W
With shorter boundaries, Sharjah Cricket Stadium is one of the best stadiums for high-scoring matches. However, in the shortest cricket format like T20 is not good for the batters scoring 140 or 145 runs in the first inning. Looking at the stats, if the team’s score was not higher than 200 then there are chances all odds go to the bowling side. Its dry surface often favors the pacer and makes it difficult for batters to hit the shots, especially in the early and middle overs.
