Sharjah Cricket Stadium, UAE Pitch Report Ahead of BAN-W vs ENG-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.
Bangladesh Women vs England Women X Factor
Bangladesh Women X Factor
Skipper Nigar Sultana is expected to lead the Bangladesh Women’s Squad into the T20 World Cup. Team BANW is speculating to go with its experienced players batting opener Murshida Khatun, allrounder Rabeya Khan, and youngster Shorna Akter. The bowling side will be maintained by the Southpaw bowlers Sabikun Nahar Jesmin and Nahida Akter can make it to the squad. Nahida is a veteran bowler who took 99 WT20I wickets in the 87 games in her career.
England Women X Factor
Once again Heather Knight will be the skipper of the Team England Women in the ICC marquee event. The selectors of the ECB rewarded the players based on their performance in the Hundred Competition. The eyes are on the all-rounder Dani Gibson and keeper-batter Bess Heath in the ongoing T20 World Cup. Spinner Linsey Smith and pacer Lauren Bell will handle the bowling side.
