Sharjah Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch proved to be a difficult one for batsmen during the second leg of IPL 2021 but that seems to be a thing of the past, after what was seen during the Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka match. Batsmen would find value for their shots and even though spin bowlers could find some help. Having said that, a safe first innings total would be something around the range of 150-160 if the correct lengths are hit.
