The previous year, the Sharjah stadium became the highest-scoring ground venue. However, the stadium witnessed the scores dip with the pitch being re-laid. The pitch report indicates it to be sluggish, making it challenging for the batsmen to perform well, especially against slow bowlers. Sharjah is a comparatively small ground, giving undue advantage to the big hitters.
