The stage is set for the blockbuster Women's T20 World Cup 2024 encounter between India and Australia. The venue is the Sharjah Cricket Stadium and it is a big game for the Harmanpreet's girls as they look to strengthen their position in Group A. However, Australia as always have dominated the proceedings so far and it is hard to see them giving away an inch despite them being in comfortable position with three wins in as many games.
India, on the other hand, lost their opening encounter against New Zealand and though they have won the two matches after that, a loss against Australia would be a big blow to their chances. So, it is a pressure game for the Indian side and it is also their first match of the tournament at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in this World Cup. So, ahead of the high-ticket encounter, let's see what the stats tell us about T20Is at the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

The Sharjah cricket stadium has hosted 45 T20Is so far and 27 of those have been won by the team batting first. Rest of the games have been won by the chasing team. So, the team batting first has enjoyed some advantage due to the slow and low nature of the pitch in recent times and batting gets difficult in the second half. The boundaries though are short at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium and it has produced some high-scoring games as well. The highest T20I score registered at the ground is 215 by Afghanistan while the lowest score is just 38 by Hong Kong.
The average batting first score at the ground as of 18th of March 2024 is 151 and in the current World Cup, the average score has gone down further with plenty of low-scoring affairs. So, the pitch is expected to be slow and low in the encounter between India and Australia and we might once a low-scoring thriller between two quality sides.
