SHARJAH CRICKET STADIUM (SHARJAH)Pitch Report

Sharjah Cricket Stadium pitch is dusty/dry, the pitch is harder and it favors the pacers. Once the batsmen understand the movement of balls, they get a chance to build high targets. The cracks are formed overnight on this pitch, as the humidity and moisture content of the stadium region is high. The cracks look like tiles, having light patches of grass, this in regards to batsmen, but, mainly as bowlers don’t get enough bounce to let to make the batsmen stroke for a wrong shot. Wrong strike might help bowlers to break partnerships. The warm winds decide the moisture content of the pitch. Conditions and weather of the day, which are dynamic in nature and are responsible for the semi-arid conditions of the pitch. All over, the pitch is in fine condition. The only issue is that the un-occasionally arrival of rains had deteriorated the maintenance of pitch before.

The toss is an important aspect of a test match, mostly on the Sharjah ground. The win of toss makes a captain bat first in most of the situation, by keeping in the mind of regarding that, what types of conditions of pitch is or will be at the end of the day.
