Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium has slowed down considerably. The likes of Siraj and Boult have enjoyed these conditions due to the early swing on offer, which should be the case in this game as well. But the straight boundaries are very small and batsmen should be able to play their natural game once they get used to the conditions.
With dew expected to play a part in this game, both the captains will be looking to bowl first. A total of around 170 would be a fighting total at this surface.
