How Will the Sharjah Cricket Stadium Pitch Behave?

The surface of the Sharjah Cricket Stadium is largely conducive for batting, especially when the wicket is still fresh and new. Considering the upcoming game is just the third match of the ILT20 2025 season at the venue, one can expect another high-scoring encounter. Even the first match of the season played here earlier this week witnessed over 400 runs being scored from both sides. While a batting friendly surface is on the horizon, spinners might also come into play as the game progresses.

Players To Watch Out For In SWR vs MIE Match 11

Sharjah Warriorz

Avishka Fernando

Avishka Fernando clobbered six boundaries and eight sixes in his 27-ball knock of 81 against Dubai Capitals. Maintaining a strike rate of 300, Fernando’s whirlwind innings helped the Warriorz make lightwork of Capitals’ 200-plus total.

Johnson Charles

West Indies top-order batter Johnson Charles has tallied his runs at a strike rate of nearly 165 for the Sharjah Warriorz this ILT20 2025 season. The dashing wicketkeeper-batter is also one of the most experienced campaigners in T20 cricket.

Tim Southee

Sharjah Warriorz captain Tim Southee holds an innate ability of making an early impact with the new ball. The legendary New Zealand speedster has already snapped five wickets from just three innings this season.

Adil Rashid

Adil Rashid is not only an ideal wicket-taking option, but the English leg spinner can also control runs from his end. In this season itself, the cricketer has maintained an economy of just 6.66 while taking three wickets.

MI Emirates

Fazalhaq Farooqi

MI Emirates’ Afghanistan based fast bowler Fazalhaq Farooqi has taken seven wickets from just three innings to top the wicket-taking charts of the ILT20 2025 season. The speedster has maintained an impressive average of just 11.14.

Nicholas Pooran

MI Emirates captain Nicholas Pooran hauled successive half-centuries upfront, and has so far aggregated 135 runs this season at an average of 45 and with an astonishing strike rate of 168.75.

Tom Banton

Tom Banton recently punched out a match-winning 74 against Dubai Capitals. While the attacking Englishman is holding a strike rate of 126.31 this season, his career T20 strike rate reads 142.88.

Kieron Pollard

Kieron Pollard, a veteran of nearly 700 T20 matches, holds a strike rate of 173.04 in all his ILT20 appearances since the inaugural edition of the tournament. The legendary West Indies all-rounder can score quick runs in the slog overs, and can also make his presence felt with a ball in hand.
