Pitch Report And Fantasy Impact
The venue is not settled. ECB/CricClubs lists Karwan Cricket Ground – Ajman. Other schedule pages list Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
If Sharjah is confirmed, four completed 2026 Emirates D20 matches there had first-innings scores of 159, 136, 148 and 116. This small sample is mixed. It is not a Karwan ground record.
If Karwan is confirmed, ignore the Sharjah sample. Use the toss and the confirmed ground. Add bowlers only when the surface supports them.
