Match Details:
The 29th match of the Emirates D20 Tournament 2020 will be played between Sharjah and Dubai at the ICC Academy Cricket Ground in Dubai.
The match is scheduled to start at 06:30 pm IST (05:00 PM Local Time) and will be streamed live on FanCode.
Preview:
With all the four semi-final berths being confirmed, the two teams who will clash in this game should be breathing a sigh of relief. Both Sharjah and Dubai left it late, but have ultimately managed to get the job done. This game will not have much at stake, but the winner will walk away with the prize of finishing third in the league phase.
With 4 wins and a no-result in 9 matches, it is Sharjah who are occupying that spot currently. Their opposition, Dubai have also won 4 of their 9 games, but have lost a game more than Sharjah. Given how closely-packed the schedule is and the semi-finals are tomorrow, both sides can field a few new faces.
