Sharjah has hosted four games in the tournament and the pitches have favoured batters with little help for bowlers. The average first innings score at this ground reads 174 and all four matches were won by the chasing teams. 152 was chased down in 14.5 overs in the previous game so expect the teams to look to bowl first.
The weather in Sharjah is expected to be clear with the temperature ranging between 19 to 23 degree Celsius.
