On Thursday, Bangladesh will lock horns with West Indies in match 13 of the ongoing Women's T20 World Cup. The high-voltage clash is scheduled at the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. 

Led by Nigar Sultana, Bangladesh Women had an emphatic start to the competition, registering a 16-run victory over their Scottish counterparts in their tournament opener. However, they followed it up with a disastrous outing, as England Women handed them a 21-run defeat in the subsequent affair. 

On the contrary, West Indies had a torrid start to their Women's T20 World Cup campaign, incurring a heavy ten-wicket defeat against a rampant South African outfit. However, they took a little time to regain their mojo, swatting aside Scotland by six wickets in their second group-stage match. 

So, moving on to this game, both teams would look to assert their dominance and add two crucial points to their tallies. Before the game begins, let's see how the surface at Sharjah Cricket Stadium will behave throughout the contest. 

Sharjah Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

The surface at Sharjah Cricket Stadium will be conducive to bowlers. Although the fast bowlers won't get substantial seam movement, the ball might hold up a bit after pitching. Furthermore, the track will offer significant assistance to the spinners, making it tough for the batters to score in the middle overs. 

The pitch generally gets difficult for batting as the game progresses. The data also validates this statement, as teams batting first have won four out of six matches in this World Cup. Considering the playing conditions in Sharjah, the toss-winner will likely opt to bat first and put runs on the board.
