Sharjah Cricket Stadium IPL Pitch Report
The Pitch of Sharjah Cricket Stadium is helpful for the batsman and is a high-scoring ground. Fast bowlers get help in the initial overs.
Bowlers get bounces & movement when bowls in good areas, Batsmen can hit the ball nicely because the ball comes to the bat perfectly. Due to the short boundaries distance, the batsman can hit the ball out of the boundary easily. Dew is another factor so keep it in mind, because after dew ball comes to the bat very nicely and bowlers have only one option to bowl in good line & length, otherwise they pay for it.
