Sharjah Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:
The Sharjah Cricket Stadium Pitch is a notorious batting paradise, especially given small boundaries. While historically known for high scoring encounters, where the 200-plus yoga was also not safe, recent T20 matches suggest a more balanced surface. The pitch can be slow on the slow side, making it a challenge for the ball for the batsmen and brings the spinner and slow-ball bowlers into the game. The toss is important, with teams often opt for batting first to post a formidable total on board, although dew in night games can pursue a more attractive option.
Squad:
Afghanistan: Rashid Khan Ahmedzai, Fazalhak Farooqui
Pakistan: Salman Aga (Captain), Abrar Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Hasan Nawaz, Hussain Talat, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Haris (wicket-keeper), Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Wasim Jenner, Sahifa Farhiha Sufiyan Mukim
