Pitch report - A little while back Sanjay Manjrekar was near the playing area and he started by saying that the pitches in Sharjah wear a strange dark grey look and then turn whitish grey before the game. He added that there is a typical sheen as well. Wasim Akram also joined him and reminded that it's the same strip where Pakistan thrashed Hong Kong. Akram mentioned that today's surface though is looking a lot better than the last one and in his opinion, it will be better to chase but also cautioned that chasing a 140-plus score won't be easy.
