Pitch Report And Fantasy Impact
The exact ground is not settled. ECB/CricClubs lists Karwan Cricket Ground – Ajman. CricketWorld lists Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
A one-match Sharjah sample had Sharjah 159/5 and Dubai 160/1 on 19 October. It shows chase value in that game only. It does not describe Karwan Cricket Ground.
If Sharjah is confirmed, use that small sample with care. If Karwan is confirmed, ignore it. Wait for the toss and the final ground.
