The small dimensions of the Sharjah Cricket Stadium doesn’t seem to have affected the scoring pattern of the ground as very rarely the teams have managed to score big totals here. Most of the totals here have been below-150 scores. Moreover, the average first and second innings scores have also been fairly low. Out of a total of 15 matches played here, 9 have been won by the teams batting first.

Scoring Pattern:

Below Score 150: 8

Score between 150 and 169: 3

Score between 170 and 189: 2

Sharjah Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch in the Sharjah Cricket Stadium has gone through a major turnaround from the last year. In the 13th season of the IPL where it was seen as the batters’ arena, now the scenario is completely opposite. In the recently concluded 14th season of the IPL, it was seen that the batsmen found it difficult to get going here. The spinners got an ample bit of assistance from the pitch and the medium pacers could benefit from it as well.

A similar sort of wickets would be seen in Sharjah in the entire T20 World Cup. The batsmen, hence, will find it tough to play their shots and eventually low totals will be recorded. Anything around 145 would be a great score on this surface. As the pitch will get slower with time, batting first after winning the toss here would be a better choice.
