Pitch report: There's more grass for the bowlers. The average score last year was 143 last year, so it's not that a high-scoring ground. The batters can play through the line. The seam bowlers will be happy as the ball will move laterally due to the grass.
Raza: Pretty even ground, we are not too fussed. It's better to bat with so much grass.
Sharjah Warriorz (Playing XI): Johnson Charles(w), Luke Wells, Jason Roy, Rohan Mustafa, Karim Janat, Keemo Paul, Junaid Siddique, Adil Rashid, Harmeet Singh, Tim Southee(c), Adam Milne

17:30 Local Time, 13:30 GMT, 19:00 IST: Hello and welcome to the 8th contest of ILT20 folks! The Sharjah Warriors will lock horns with the Dubai Capitals today. Both the teams have won a game each and lost a game each so far this season. Only early days in the tournament, so things can changes quickly, especially in this format. Either teams can climb upwards from here on, or it can be a downward slide for them. Let’s hope we have a cracking encounter, stay around for the toss and teams..
