After recording a comprehensive win over India, New Zealand are ready to take on Australia in their second group-stage fixture of the T20 World Cup. The high-octane face-off is scheduled at the historic Sharjah Cricket Stadium. 

Led by Alyssa Healy, the defending champions had an outstanding start to the tournament, emerging victorious against a spirited Sri Lankan outfit. After restricting Sri Lanka to a paltry 93-run total, the Aussies chased down the target inside 15 overs, registering a six-wicket win. 

On the other hand, New Zealand Women exhibited remarkable skills with bat and ball, handing India Women a crushing defeat in the first game. While Sophie Devine smashed an aggressive fifty, the White Ferns' bowling unit, led by Rosemary Mair, ran through the Indian batting unit. 

Considering both teams are high on confidence, we expect a nail-biting thriller in this encounter. So, 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 a paradise for the bowlers. The track's slowness will prompt the fast bowlers to bowl more cutters and change-ups than the seam-ups. Meanwhile, the spinners will also get significant assistance off the deck, making things tough for the batters in the middle overs. 

As it will be challenging to hit the ball through the line and dispatch it to the fence, the batters will focus on fetching the gaps and converting ones into twos. The pitch in Sharjah generally gets trickier for batting with the game's progression. So, considering the venue's track record, the toss-winner is expected to bat first and put runs on the board.
