Pitch and Weather Report

Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the UAE is known for being a great batting track. The new white ball might move a little, especially under lights, but once the pitch settles, batters can easily score runs. This venue has hosted 42 T20I matches so far, out of which 26 were won by batting first, and 16 won by the chasing side. The average score batting first in T20Is here is 149 runs.

With that record in mind, both captains will be focused on winning the toss. Batting first could give them an edge by putting pressure on the opposition. Batters, though, can expect a nice time here and would try to score at least 150-155 on this track.
