DV vs ADKR: Pitch Report

The Sharjah Cricket Stadium pitch is famous for being a batting-friendly one. Runs come pretty easily at this ground, and it's a high-scoring venue very often. In the last game here, ADKR chalked up an imposing 233 runs, while the chasing team reached close to that figure. However, the second innings becomes a bit tougher to bat as the pitch gets slower. Another high-scoring thriller might be expected in this match by the fans.
