Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan Pitch Report

As seen in the previous few games at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, there was enough assistance both for the batters and bowlers throughout the match. Both the spinners and fast bowlers have extracted enough from this track in the history of the venue as well, but the conditions are expected to be better for batting and picking more of spinners and batsmen will be an ideal option from the fantasy cricket point of view.
