Pitch Report
At the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, spinners have enjoyed notable support throughout the season, benefitting from the track’s favorable conditions. The surface, adorned with a hint of grass, promises variable bounce for batters. Sharjah, a prominent venue in the Middle East, boasts dimensions of 62 meters down the ground and 65 meters square of the wicket, enticing batters with ample boundary-hitting opportunities. This season, the stadium continues to be a haven for spinners while offering an appealing prospect for big hitters.

Dubai Capitals:
Tom Banton, Max Holden, Leus du Plooy, Tom Abell, Sam Billings (C/WK), Sikandar Raza, Dasun Shanaka, Akif Raja, Olly Stone, Scott Kuggeleijn, Haider Ali.
Gulf Giants:
James Vince (C), Jordan Cox, Shimron Hetmyer, Jamie Smith (WK), Usman Khan, Liam Dawson, Jamie Overton, Chris Jordan, Zuhaib Zubair, Daniel Worrall, Blessing Muzarabani.
Probable Best Batter of the match
In the ILT20’s 34th encounter against the Sharjah Warriors, Shimron Hetmyer exhibited his formidable prowess, crafting a blistering half-century off a mere 24 deliveries. His fifty comprised three boundaries and an impressive tally of four sixes. Notably, the explosive showcase of power-hitting unfolded particularly in the crucial 17th over, witnessing Hetmyer’s onslaught as he amassed a staggering 26 runs in the decisive 6 balls.
Probable Best Bowler of the match
In the pivotal ILT20’s 22nd showdown against the Warriors, Zuhaib Zubair emerged as the standout performer for the Giants, wreaking havoc with an impressive bowling display, notching figures of four wickets for 22 runs. His knack for snaring vital wickets consistently has been instrumental in the Gulf Giants’ dominant victories. With the Sharjah pitch favouring spinners, Zubair’s skill poses a significant threat to the Capitals as they gear up for the crucial encounter.
