Sharjah Cricket Stadium Pitch Report and Conditions:
This is going to be only the second game in Sharjah in the ongoing edition of the ILT20. The curtain raiser was played at this venue, featuring the Giants and the Warriors. The former posted 198/7 in their 20 overs before restricting the Tom Kohler-Cadmore-led side to 167/7. Sharjah is known for producing some fantastic batting pitches. The boundaries are also on the shorter side and it gets very difficult for bowlers to contain batters when they are in flow.
