WT20WC 2024: Sharjah Cricket Stadium, UAE Pitch Report Ahead of BAN-W vs SCO-W
In comparison to other stadiums, Sharjah Cricket Stadium has smaller boundaries which makes it perfect for scoring runs. The boundaries are shorter on either side of the wicket so it is easy for batters to score the runs. According to some critics, the pitch is batter friendly and the average first innings score is between 140 to 145. However, its dry surface favored the pacers so if the team’s score was not higher than 200 then there are chances all odds go to the bowling side.
