Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium is not the same that we witnessed at the start of the season. As expected, it has become dry and batting at the surface is becoming more and more difficult game after game. The seamers can get some swing off the surface initially.
But it will come down to the spinners and how they make use of the surface as it dries up. With the quality of Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravi Bishnoi on offer, we could be in for an intriguing encounter. A total of anything above 180 could prove to be a fighting score.
