Chennai vs Mumbai pitch report

During the first couple of weeks of the competition, the Sharjah pitch was a batsman's paradise. In the first four matches that were played at this venue, the teams scored in excess of 200 on seven occasions. However, during the last three games in Sharjah, teams scored well below 200 which could mean that pitches are now slowing as the tournament is progressing. Bowlers are in for a tough time on this pitch but change of pace will be key for them to succeed on this surface. 

On the other hand, spinners could have a tough time because of the dew and short boundaries. The average first innings total in Sharjah in the Dream11 IPL 2020 is 200. Teams batting first at this ground have won five games while the side chasing has won thrice. The team winning the toss should look to field first, assess the conditions, restrict the opposition to a low total and then chase it down.
