Sharjah Cricket Stadium, UAE Pitch Report Ahead of ENG-W vs SA-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 will go to the bowling side team.

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.
South Africa Women X Factor
For the first time, Laura Wolvaardt will be the captain of the T20 SA Women’s team ahead of the ICC big event.
