Match Details:
The final match of the Emirates D20 2020 will be played between Fujairah and Sharjah at ICC Academy, Dubai.
This match is scheduled to start at 05:00 PM Local Time (06:30 PM IST) and it will be streamed live on FanCode.
Preview:
Sharjah and Fujairah have had different graphs in the Emirates D20 2020 tournament. Fujairah’s journey has been smoother than a knife through butter. They won all of their 10 matches in the league phase and then went on to defeat Dubai in the final.
On the other hand, Sharjah had a topsy-turvy ride, winning 4 and losing 4 games. However, the formbook goes out of the window in the all-important final. Moreover, Sharjah will be booming with confidence after beating a formidable ECB Blues in the semi-final. Fujairah might be the obvious favourites, but all of these factors hint at a potentially nerve-wracking encounter.
