What is the pitch report for FUJ vs SHA, Emirates D20 2022, Match 1?

The outfield is too quick and the ball travels quite fast into the fence. The short ball is the go-to go wicket-taking delivery for the bowlers here. The batters just need to play long. Bowling first is a good option.

Pre-Match Analysis:

Fujairah had an outstanding run in the previous edition where they emerged champions beating Abu Dhabi in the finals by 4 wickets. They are one of the consistent sides in this competition as they even reached the finals in 2020. Waseem Muhammad is their key player who can single-handedly win matches. Hamdan Tahir and Rohan Mustafa will bring more solidarity to the side with their natural talents. It’s hard to find loopholes in the balance of the side and it will be interesting how they going to perform this edition.

2020 champions Sharjah ended their tournament journey last edition in the semi-finals as they lost to Fujairah by 6 wickets. They have roped in Yasir Kaleem and Usman Khan who has performed brilliantly for Ajman and Fujairah respectively in the previous edition. They will miss the services of Zahoor Khan who is currently representing Kandy Falcons in the Lanka Premier League. Batting has been their major strength and they need to get the combination right in the bowling department.
