Fujairah Pacific Ventures and Sharjah Bukhatir XI have had different graphs in the Emirates D20 2020 tournament. Fujairah’s campaign has been smoother than a knife through butter. They won all the matches in the league phase and then defeated Dubai in the final.
Sharjah had a topsy-turvy trip on the other side, winning 4 and losing 4 games. However, in the all-important finale, the formbook goes out of the window. Moreover, after beating the formidable ECB Blues in the semi-final, Sharjah will boom with confidence. The clear favourites may be Fujairah, but all these variables indicate a potentially nerve-wracking encounter.
Weather
For what we hope is a cracking final, the weather will be excellent. The temperature will be about 23°C, with just 10% of the chance of rain.
Pitch
This track is balanced for both bowlers and batsmen to get their gameplans right to succeed. A par score of 160 should be good to score at this venue.
